About This Item
London,: Herman Moll,, 1727.. Two engraved maps on the same sheet with hand colouring. Very scarce composite plate with separate maps of Minorca (157 x 173 mm) and Gibraltar (110 x 106 mm), the principal acquisitions of the British in the Mediterranean from the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is assumed that the plate was first engraved in 1713 or 1714; the only example of this first state encountered came from the Macclesfield's collection. The joint imprint of Moll and John King sr. places this printing in the mid-1720s, no doubt during the siege of 1727. The title-page of the second edition of Jacques Ozanam's A Treatise of Fortification notes 'To which is prefix'd a PLAN of Gibraltar, &c. with all its Fortifications as they are at present, shewing the great Strength and Use of it, &c. Humbly Inscribed to the Right Honourable the E. of Portmore' (London: J. Jackson and John Worrall, 1727), which would imply map 34 above, but the only recorded copy (Sotheby's, Library of the Earls of Macclesfield, Part 10, 30th October, 2007, lot 3494) contained this map sheet.
