A twin map of Minorca and Gibraltar Two engraved maps on the same sheet with hand colouring. Very scarce composite plate with separate maps of Minorca (157 x 173 mm) and Gibraltar (110 x 106 mm), the principal acquisitions of the British in the Mediterranean from the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is assumed that the plate was first engraved in 1713 or 1714; the only example of this first state encountered came from the Macclesfield's collection. The joint imprint of Moll and John King sr. places this printing in the mid-1720s, no doubt during the siege of 1727. The title-page of the second edition of Jacques Ozanam's A Treatise of Fortification notes 'To which is prefix'd a PLAN of Gibraltar, &c. with all its Fortifications as they are at present, shewing the great Strength and Use of it, &c. Humbly Inscribed to the Right Honourable the E. of Portmore' (London: J. Jackson and John Worrall, 1727), which would imply map 34 above, but the only recorded copy (Sotheby's, Library of the Earls of Macclesfield, Part 10, 30th October, 2007, lot 3494) contained this map sheet.…

All items are offered subject to prior sale. Price and availability are subject to change. All prices are nett
and do not include postage and packing. Invoices will be rendered in £ sterling.
All purchases must be paid for in full unless you have an approved credit account. Credit terms are
settlement within 30 days of the date of invoice, unless specifically agreed otherwise at the time of the

Authenticity & descriptions
The condition of all books has been described; all items are guaranteed to be complete unless otherwise
stated. We only sell genuine antiquarian books, maps, and prints. All items carry a full guarantee as to
their authenticity. A certificate to this effect can be provided on request. Dimensions are given height by
width of the book-block for books, and platemark, or, if this is not possible, printed image, for maps
and prints. Where indicated, original or contemporary colouring (i.e. colouring applied to the print or
map at or about the time of publication) will be so described. All other colouring will be colouring that,
in our opinion, has been added at a later date. All items can be assumed to be in good condition, unless
stated otherwise.
Availability
As our stock is always changing, items in the catalogues may have already been sold; if something you
want doesn¿t appear on the search page, then this is probably the case.

Any item may be returned if you are not happy with it providing we are notified within 7 days of your

item outside this period. All we ask is that you return the item(s) by the same or similar method to that
in which they were sent to you. Your postage costs and any payment already received will be refunded
immediately on our receipt of the items in the same condition as you received them.
