This plan appears to have been removed from a volume of manuscript maps and plans of sieges. Other maps, in the same hand and, apparently, from the same volume, are scattered throughout the collection: RCINs 725009, 725011, 725013, 725021, 725023, 725030. This map appears to be in the same hand as the other maps in this atlas, but the gilt edges are not present on the left, top or right edges; it is possible that they have been trimmed off.
Additional text: [below title, in title panel, a key, A, b-f, G-H, to the the lines, redoubt on the island, old bridge and ship bridge, etc.]
