Description
Set sail for the coast of Brittany with this exceptional reissue of the British Admiralty chart “Quiberon Peninsula to Bénodet Cove”, published in 1962 by the Hydrographic Department of the British Admiralty. This remarkable vintage geographical map, with its exceptional nautical precision, is a valuable historical and scientific document of the Atlantic coastline of Brittany, covering the southern coast of Finistère and the Morbihan.
This vintage nautical chart presents a comprehensive hydrographic survey of the Bay of Biscay off the coast of Brittany, extending from the Quiberon Peninsula to Bénodet Cove. It meticulously maps iconic maritime sites such as Groix Island, the Glénan archipelago, the Lorient roadstead, the Concarneau bay, the Trévignon point, and the Laïta estuary near Guidel and Pouldu. The document is packed with technical details essential for mariners: soundings in fathoms and feet, seabed characteristics, beacons, light alignments, dangerous reefs, tide tables, and several large engraved compass roses to help orient the course on the Atlantic Ocean.
Printed with great care on high-quality paper that reproduces the precision of the original drawings, the fine coastal relief, and the authentic patina of Admiralty charts, this vintage reproduction is an excellent choice for retro wall decor with a maritime theme. This 1962 vintage poster of Quiberon to Bénodet will appeal to enthusiasts of Breton history, sailors, nautical cartography enthusiasts, and all lovers of the Brittany coastline.
Creative paper
For vintage paper posters, we use a natural-toned and textured, slightly grained, 200 gsm FSC®-certified fine art paper. We chose this paper for its durability and to preserve its vintage look: it is an uncoated paper, so the colors will have an "aged" appearance that stays true to the spirit of the original card.
If you would like to get an idea of how the printed result will look, which is always different from what you see on screen, please contact us and we will be happy to help! Rest assured that we will do our utmost to respond to your request as quickly as possible!
