DEZAUCHE, Jean Claude.

Tableau Indicatif des Vents Avec leurs Noms sur L'Ocean, sur La Mer Méditerranée et sur La Mer Noire.
Paris, 1784. Original colour. 515 x 690mm.

A very interesting publication, showing three wind roses, naming the winds according to the usage of the Atlantic (French), Mediterranean (Italian) and the Black Sea (Turkish). Two panels of engraved French text explain the theories of the winds. We cannot trace another example being offered for sale.
