Item Details
Description
  • Title/Content of Map: Plan of the City and Harbour of Toulon
  • Date Printed: 1774
  • Cartographer: Jefferys, Thomas
  • Size (inches): 8 x 11

    Nice antique copperplate-engraved plan from 1774 of the Vauban-style fortifications around Toulon, France includes the King's harbor, merchant's harbor, arsenal, and the two city gates, where the beginnings of development outside the walls is barely visible.

    Despite its massive bastions and the support of a combined British/Spanish naval force, the fortress fell to French Republican forces in 1793 forcing the fleet to withdraw. It was during the Siege of Toulon that 24 year old Napolean Bonaparte won a promotion from Captain to Brigadier General for his leadership including strategic placement of artillery batteries. Printed for Faden and Jefferys in 1774; the two volumes in the series contained 87 charts of the sea coast and coastal fortifications.

    Thomas Jefferys (1719-1771) was the Royal Cartographer to King George III and the leading map supplier of his time.
