This is a beautifully engraved early bird's-eye view of St. Augustine. It gives an excellent view of the fort and the tiny settlement with a large three-masted warship under full sail in the foreground, plus a smaller coastal sailing ship. The ribbon-style title cartouche floats above the scene. The page number 297 is at upper right, and French text is on the verso.

References: Pastoureau, MANESSON-MALLET I A [636].

Condition: A

A crisp impression with a hint of toning in the margins and a tiny hole in the upper blank margin only visible when held to light.
