The attribution to Schultz is made solely on the basis of the entry in the old catalogue. An outline sketch; the only topographical detail is rivers, some roads, and place-names. The regimental rectangles are left blank and are annotated with numbers to which there is no key. By comparison with RCIN 730115, 1= British, 2= Hanoverian, 3= Hessian, 4= Austrian, 5= Dutch. The Bavarian troops indicated on RCIN 730115 do not appear to be separately shown on this map.
Condition: one fold line; surface dirt on verso.
