Carta nautica dell'Oceano Atlantico in cui sono segnate le rotte navali. Interessante evidenziare la presenza del cavo telegrafico "Telegraphic Cable" la cui collocazione si era da poco terminata. Questo cavo telegrafico adagiato sul fondo dell'oceano rappresentò un enorme passo avanti nel campo delle comunicazioni tra il Nord America e l'Europa. Da quel momento un messaggio poteva essere trasmesso e ricevuto nel giro di qualche minuto, quando fino a poco tempo prima erano necessari almeno dieci giorni di navigazione. Piccoli fori di tarlo che non compromettono l'ottimo stato di conservazione generale. Attraente coloritura coeva all'acquerello.
