This is a finely engraved plan of the city of Marseille. Many important locations are noted including the Citadel, Place of Arms, Fort St. Jean and St. Victor Abbey. Numerous gates surround the city that was a critical strategic asset of France and its largest commercial port on the Mediterranean. This plan was most likely included in Thomas Mortimer's "Atlas of Trade and Commerce," published in London in 1767.
