Old map of the Western Mediterranean — Trade routes | France

Authentic old map of the Western Mediterranean, a historical document of exceptional richness and beauty. It accurately maps the major maritime trade routes connecting France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia — a fascinating snapshot of the economic exchanges of a bygone era.
