A beautifully engraved plan of the city of Brussels here engraved by Isaac Basire. A small assumption is made in naming the engraver Isaac as the initial could be read as a ‘J’ for his son James who was not born until 1730. An explanation lower right identifies 82 key points of the map. From Nicolas Tindal’s ‘Continuation of Mr. Rapin’s History of England’. Shirley, R.W. (BL Atlases) G.RAP 1a, no. 26.
