A rare, copper engraved plan with incredible detail, this example shows the terrain, farmland, rivers, roads, and military batteries of the town, while soundings, sand types and important notes are listed in the waters. The seal of the Hydrographical Office appears to the left of the title with a note just below listing the original price of this plan at one shilling. Originally published by Jefferys in Charing Cross, and re-issued by the Hydrographical Office in 1814. Published by Capt. Hurd, Royal Navy Hydrographer to the Admiralty, 8th Sept 1814.
