Trimmed to printed border on left.

A detailed plan of the defences of Maastricht by Jean de Beaurain (1696-1771), geographer to Louis XV. Engraved by Charles Inselin and first published in 1740, the map was originally designed to illustrate a history of the campaigns of Louis XIV; this example has been updated to be more contemporary, with the 18th century Fort St Pieter top left.
