This antique map, titled "Golf de Fréjus," is an original depiction of the region of Fréjus, France. It is part of the work "Le Petit Atlas Maritime," authored by J.N. Bellin and published in 1764. The map provides a detailed representation of the Gulf of Fréjus, offering valuable geographical information about the coastal area and its surrounding features. It serves as a historical reference to the geography of the region during the 18th century.
Bellin was an important maker of charts for the French Depot de la Marine. He was born in Paris in 1703 and educated as an engineer. He produced many important charts and published them individually and in compilations. The Neptune Francais was published in 1753 and the Hydrographie Francaise in 1756. His largest and most comprehensive work is the Petit Atlas Maritime.
