The top left corner features Art.o 58 while the top right displays f27 and two coats of arms. The inscription on this print reveals that it depicts 'Plano del puerto de Sisiran,' located in Camarines province in the Philippines. It was meticulously delineated under the command of Pedro Manuel d'Arandia, who served as President Governor and Captain General of the Philippine Islands during that period. With North oriented at 98 degrees, this engraving provides a historical perspective on navigation and exploration in Southeast Asia. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to the sea and land depicted on the map.
