This is a pilot book rather than an atlas, by René Bougard, a French hydrographer from Le Havre. It contains numerous woodcuts of coastal profiles and harbours, like the Scilly isles on display with their wrong longitudes. Widely used book in nautical schools and on board ships. (First edition 1684)
