This is a map of the coast of South China extending from Donghai Island to Lantao and surroundings islands including Guangzhou (Canton). As it illustrates the voyage of the First French Embassy to China between 1701 and 1702, the soundings given are on the route taken from the L'Amphitrite. Compared to others maps made of said voyage this one is rather more accurate even though some later additions were made graphite.
