Plan of the battle of the Bay of Bulls near Cadiz fought during the early days of the War for Spanish Succession, 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 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 1a, no. 1.
