A detailed plan-view of the noted Portuguese trading centre at Diu on the Indian west coast.

Particularly finely engraved, the plan is set within an engraved plinth-like border, and appeared in the first volume of Prevost's "Histoire Generale Des Voyages ..." whose maps, in the main were supplied by the prolific and influential French mapmaker Jacques Nicolas Bellin.
