Description

Detailed map of the fortifications at Gibraltar, with 3 striking views and inset maps.

The map illustrates Gibraltar after the Treaty of Utrecht

The map shows Gibraltar, Majorca and Minorca, engraved by Sutton Nicholls (fl. ca. 1687 - 1725?), an engraver, map and printseller.

The map was likely first issued by Nicholls in about 1712-1713, at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession.

The address on the map suggests a date of 1727, the same year as Spain's second attempt to recapture Gibraltar.  

Condition Description
Minor repairs along centerfold and some minor chipping at centerfold, expertly repaired on verso.
