.. Antique Chart of the Spanish Coastline by Clark (c.1720)

Description: Antique map titled 'A Chart of the Sea Coasts Biscay and Gallicia Between Cape Machicaca and Cape de Pinas and from Cape de Pinas to Cape de Finisterre.' Map of the Spanish coastline from Bilbao eastwards. The depicted region ends with Fisterra/Finisterre. This includes the cities Santander, Gijon, Aviles, Ferrol and A Coruna. Rocks/islands and soundings are shown, as are harbours and bridges near the coast. Published by Mount and Page, London. Based on the map by Pieter Goos included in the nautical atlas "De Zee Atlas ofte Water-Weereld" (1666). Possibly from John Seller's "The English Pilot […] for Southern Navigation".

Artists and Engravers: Made by 'James Clark (?)' after 'John Seller'. James Clark (active 1681-ca. 1700) was an English engraver. We are not sure if this is the Ia. Clark mentioned on the map.
