Bellin J. N., "Carte de la mer de Marmara", Paris, 1772 (but 1774-1789). Impressive wall coloured sea chart (90x59cm) of the Marmara Sea produced by Bellin, the chief French Hydrographer. This chart is among the last of Bellins, as he died the same year as the current publication (1772). Although dated 1772, this particular copy is published between 1774 and 1789 (State 2 of the chart). This chart was particularly praised on its time and has been published up to the early 19th century. Small professional restoration at the edges but overall a beautiful copy. Zacharakis 289.
