Antique map titled 'Coste de Roussillon depuis Port Vendres, jusqu'au golphe de Rozes'. Original map of the coast of Roussillon, France. This map originates from 'Le Petit Atlas Maritime (..)' by J.N. Bellin. Published 1764.
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.
