[1741?]
Although dated 1741, this copy of the original map of 1718 by John Henri Bastide and John Dumaresq (at shelfmarks MS.1648.Z.03/13a and MS.1648.Z.03/13b), has been signed by Richard Coombs. He does not appear on the Tower of London Drawing Room list as a draughtsman until 1755, and left in 1760, so the map could have been copied by him, any time between those dates.
At top of map: title in ornate cartouche.
In top right hand corner: library shelfmark written in pencil.
In bottom left hand corner: written in ink "Rich: Coomb" and "B:5: F:73".
In bottom left hand corner: written in ink "No: 44".
At bottom of map: in box, scale statement "Scale of Miles as they are computed in the Country", with scale bar graded [0]-1-2-3-4-5-10-20-30.
In middle of map: "B.O" with upwards arrow, stamped in red.
Has watermarks, and compass rose with fleur-de-lys pointer orienting top of sheet to west.
Shows parts of Stirlingshire, Perthshire and Argyll, Scotland.
