Nicolas Tindal translated Paul de Rapin's History of England into English shortly after the French edition's release (1724-1727), and would later add volumes covering the reign of James VI and I (1566-1625) to George I (1660-1727) which represent the "continuation." This superb bird's-eye plan depicts the fortifications of Mons, the site of a conflict during the War of the Spanish Succession. The plan is beautifully rendered to illustrate the city with its churches, town hall, streets, canals and gardens. Engraved by James Basire.

A nice impression with light toning and foxing and a short centerfold separation at bottom. There is a 1" tear in the image at top left and two short tears at top that have all been closed on verso with archival tape.
