A dramatic and detailed representation of the British Fort and its defences at the mouth of the Harbour at Mahon, one of the world's safest and largest harbours and consequently of great strategic importance for marine control of the western Mediterranean. Naval ships, one firing a double broadside salute, decorate the sea areas. This uncommon plan was published by the successors to the firm of J.B.Homann, the prominent Nuremberg map maker, and is in attractive full wash colour.
