Also next to the graphic scales are the representations of the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, each in its own box with graduated margin and extra-margin title Carte de l'Isle de Corse Tireé sur les lieux par ordre de Mr le Marechal de Maillebois and Carte de l'Isle de Sardaigne .
In the lower left corner, within a decorative cartouche behind which can be seen a depiction of the port of the city of Genoa, the dedication to "Citizen Michel Angelo Cambiaso" is reported.
