c.1745

Pencil on paper; some pricking through | Scale: not stated. 1:32,400 approx. | RCIN 729128

A manuscript sketch of the second encampment of the Allied army, under the command of the Duke of Cumberland, at Grammont, 2 July 1745. War of the Austrian Succession (1740-48). Oriented with north-north-east to top.

This appears to be on the same scale as RCIN 729127, but the delineation of the river is slightly different, and does not incorporate the ink amendments made to RCIN 729127. The copying squares are almost twice the size of those on RCIN 729127; the measurement, 3.1 cm and 6.2 cm, is odd: the first is slightly short of 1¼ inches, while the second is 2 7/16 inches.

Condition: four fold lines; trimmed down from original size. Verso: surface dirt.
