De la navigation

1671 · [Le Havre, France?] · 3 pictures

A manuscript navigation treatise, De la navigation, made in France around 1671 for seafarers and students of nautical astronomy, with its place of making uncertain. The pictures are hand-ruled tables of solar declination in neat French script and a small pen sketch of a moored boat with a flag and anchors, showing a designer ink-and-wash handwritten charts and tables with a touch of nautical illustration.
