Attractive map of the city of Quebec. The plan shows the city's fortifications and a key at right identifies the major buildings, etc. A slightly larger version of Bellin's plan of 1744, which was the definitive plan of the city for most of the 18th Century. Finely engraved with a compass rose. Ref. Kersahw #1074. One tiny rust spot, still very good.
