Superb, large Manuscript plan evidently drawn to illustrate the various symbols required to prepare a military map. The plan is entirely hand drawn and colored and shows a large fortification with artillery, infantry and cavalry battalions and great detail of the surrounding countryside. A very unique and interesting chart.
