Ibiza and Formentera Spain

DESCRIPTION: Antique engraved nautical chart of the harbor and town of Yvice ( Ibiza ) on the island of Ibiza, Spain. Coverage includes nearby Formentera ( Fromentiere ) Island.

This small original chart is from the atlas of Mediterranean ports produced by Joseph Roux - "Recueil des Principaux Plans des Ports et Rades de la Mer Méditerranée".

There were at least four small atlases of port and coastal charts that originated from Marseille hydrographers in the 18th century. Beginning in approximately 1727 these atlases included works by cartographers Michelot and Bremond, Jacques Ayrouard, Joseph Roux , and Jean Allezard.

Comparison between Roux's chart and that of Michelot and Bremond shows that Roux copied Michelot's topography, anchorages, place names, and soundings directly from Michelot's chart that had been produced 40 years earlier. Plate 7.

Both Michelot and Bremond were associated with the French Royal Galley Corps. In their business relationship it appears that Bremond provided the retail space in the port of Marseille, France where this chart, as well as other atlases and nautical prints were sold. Michelot, the chief pilot or"Pilote Hauturière" for the Corps des Galeres provided the name recognition and authority needed for the charts to sell widely.
