A copy on thin paper of RCIN 732055.a. An entry for a 'drawn plan on thin paper' of 'St. Malos & part of the coast of Britagne' appears in the listing of Lieutenant-General Robert Napier's maps (RA Cumberland Papers Vol. 6/12), but it is not possible to identify, with certainty, this map with that entry. Napier (c.1703-66), was Adjutant General and Secretary for Military Affairs to the Duke of Cumberland.
