Northern Part of the North Sea. Chart No. 73.

A blueback chart of the North Sea from the River Humber up to the Orkney Islands. Five inset maps. Blue manila backing, publisher's printed label on the outside at lower left. Some chipping and staining to label, "1914" written on label, dampstains to lower edge, one puncture/tear at upper left, clean and very good otherwise. The chart is rolled in such a way that the roll is 3-sided, so it is quite wavy when unrolled. A large chart, about 160cm x 109cm, rolled. Very scarce. We have been unable to locate another copy of this chart; a listing of it appears within a James Laurie advertisment in a German periodical of 1892 (HANSA: Volume 29) titled: "The NORTHERN PART of the NORTH SEA, on a large scale, extending from the River Humber to the Orkneys, on the English and Scotch sides; with the opposite coasts of Germany, Denmark and Norway.".
