Engraved map with hand-coloring. Matted and hinged, sheet 533 x 673 mm, pinholes at corners, horizontal crease tissue reinforced on verso. Plan of Charleston, decorative ships, radiant compass rose, and coastal elevations inset to the interior.

A handsome example of a sea chart prepared by Le Rouge for use by the French Navy during the Revolutionary War as their navy engaged British ships on numerous occasions along the Carolina coast.
