A beautifully engraved bird’s-eye plan and view of the stronghold of Cony in Piedmont by Isaac Basire. This particular plate does not appear in the early editions and as such is harder to come by. An explanation upper left identifies the key points of the map. From Nicolas Tindal’s ‘Continuation of Mr. Rapin’s History of England’. Shirley, R.W. (BL Atlases) G.RAP-1d, no. 1c.
