THE WOODEN WALLS 26 Rare Plan Of The Battle Anonymous. 'PLAN OF THE ACTION BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND DUTCH FLEETS, ON THE 11th OF NOVEMBER, 1797.' [London: Anonymous, 1797]; woodcut with letterpress numerals and letters within the map, the references and account of the battle printed from letterpress, map, widest: 419 x 230 Widest: 451+ x 333mm, in black and white. Possibly trimmed at the foot; the map and text are complete, but the lower frame design of the text is not present, and the sheet has no publisher's imprint, which could well (if ever present) have been printed outside the lower border. The paper is a little creased, with one tear into the printed area restored. This is a rare printed plan of the battle, the only example traced thus far, and the only printed plan of this famous victory located. Down the left hand border of the map is a detailed key: 'REFERENCES TO THE ANNEXED PLAN ...', the key listing the ships of the British and Dutch ships, with their guns, followed by a 'JOURNAL OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF HIS MAJESTY'S FLEET, UNDER THE COMMAND OF ADMIRAL DUNCAN, On the 11th October, 1797 ...' with a description of the battle in chronological sequence, from 8 o'clock in the morning to 40 minutes past 4, when the British ships, the battle deemed won, were tasked with rendering assistance to the most heavily damaged ships of the fleet, particularly HMS Ardent. £800 28
THIN RED LINE 27 Rare Broadsheet Plan Of This Military Camp MENAGEOT, Augustin. [Untitled Plan Of The Military Camp On The Isle Of Wight] 'To the Hon:ble Brigadier Guise This GEOMETRICAL PLAN of y.e Camp, in y.e Isle of Wight, is most humbly Dedicated by his most humble & most Obed:t Serv:ts A. Menageot, & Chris:r Seton.' 'A. Menageot Pinx.t' 'J. Hulett sculp.t' 'Publish'd according to Act of Parliament March y.e 16. 1741. London: Augustin Menageot & Christopher Seton, March 16th 1741; copperplate engraving, border: 295 x 447 widest: 342 x 448 platemark: 353 x 466 mm. A very good example. During the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748), one of Britain’s main camps was on the Isle of Wight, close to the naval base at Portsmouth. This rare plan of the camp was drawn by Augustin Ménageot, a French artist living in England in the early 1740s, who also did some fine topographical views of the camp. £360 28 Very Scarce Broadsheet DODSLEY, Richard. 'THE ORDER of BATTLE of the British and Austrian Armies of Flanders Commanded by HIS MAJESTY.' 'Printed by R. Dodsley in Pall-mall Jan: 21.st 1742/3 According to ct of Parliament.' London: Robert Dodsley, Jan. 21st. 1743; copperplate engraving, border: 293 x 356 widest: 298 x 356 platemark: 303 x 367mm, with original highlights. Short split to one fold, otherwise a good example. Very scarce engraved broadsheet, detailing the composition of the allied army - the 'Pragmatic Army' - in Flanders in 1743, commanded by King George II. It was this army that fought, and won, the Battle of Dettingen on 27th June 1743. The Battle of Dettingen is most famous as the last occasion that the British sovereign actually commanded troops in battle, although King George's horse actually bolted duing the battle, and he spent the rest of the day sheltering under an oak tree. Not traced on COPAC or in the British Library. £250 29
