A handsome copper engraved map, closely copied from a similar plan by Thomas Jeffreys. The map depicts the English seige and attack on Quebec, which resulted in the city's capture and ultimately the end of the French and Indian War. Small inset of "De Rivier boven Quebek". Key in upper right to the map identifies the fleets, batteries, fortifications etc. Decorative title cartouche. Very bright and clean. Ref: Kershaw #1018.
