Rappresentazione topografica della porzione di litorale compresa tra Saint Jean Cap Ferrat e la città di Monaco. Nell'angolo in alto a sinistra decorativo cartiglio in cui è riportato il titolo, la posizione in base a latitudine e longitudine della cittdina di Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. Nell'angolo in basso a destra è riportata la scala grafica di "Miglie due graduate".La mappa fa parte della raccolta realizzata dal Vice Ammiraglio della Reale Marina Michele Giuseppe Albini, intitolata "Portolano della Liguria". Questi si era accorto che nei portolani del mediterrraneo veniva fatta scarsa o nessuna menzione dei porti e delle rade della Liguria. "...venendo in oggi questo tratto di costa molto frequentato da bastimenti d'estere bandiere i quali fanno anche operazioni commerciali in alcuna di tale rade, io pensai che non sarebbe tornato soverchio ed infruttuoso al commercio ed ai naviganti che approdano in quei punti del territorio marittimo de nostri stati di terraferma la pubblicazione di un Portolano speciale...". L'attento lavoro di rilevazione svolto garantì, oltre alla misurazione delle profondità, anche l'indicazione della qualità del fondale espresso sulla carta con l'utilizzo delle lettere. Troviamo così specificato se vi era presenza di sabbie, fanghi, pietre o alghe.
