A beautifully engraved plan of the town of Ghent which was taken twice in 1706 and 1708 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 upper right identifies 81 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. 27.
