cartographic

[ca. 1716?]
This is a copy of William Horneck's map at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/02a, which shows the fortifications of the armies of James Francis Stuart, who took the town of Perth early in the 1715 rising, and held it until the end. It also shows the seventeenth century Cromwellian citadel. Capt. Horneck, a Board of Ordnance engineer in Louis Petit's team, drew them after the town was recaptured by the government. There is another copy of this plan at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/02c. In the original map, the title contains the term "by the Victorious Arm of King George", but on both copies it has become  "by the Victorious Arms of King George", and is later transmuted into "by the victorious army of King George". Another contemporary map of the town, showing the Stuart fortifications, by Louis Petit, is at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/01d.
