ROUX (Joseph). Collection of the main plans of the ports and harbours of the Mediterranean Sea, extracted from my map in twelve sheets. Dedicated to Monseigneur le Duc de Choiseul Minister of War and Navy. Genoa, Gravel, 1779. Small oblong in-4, half-brown basane, smooth decorated spine (19th century binding). Entirely engraved work: it consists of a title-frontispiece, 123 maps (numbered 1 to 121, 18 bis & 36 bis) and a table leaf. In his book the author details the ports and harbours of Spain, France, Italy, North Africa, Dalmatia, Greece, Turkey, Syria, as well as the main islands of the Mediterranean (Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Cyprus, Malta, islands in the Gulf of Venice...). This edition contains the same number of plates as the original one published in Marseille in 1764. (Polak 8468.) Nice copy, very fresh maps and a good edition.
