Description:
|
This map shows the fortifications of the armies of James Francis Stuart, who took the town of Perth early in the 1715 rising, and held it until the end. It also shows the seventeenth century Cromwellian citadel. The map was done by Capt. William Horneck, a Board of Ordnance engineer, after the town was recaptured by the government. There are copies of this plan at shelfmarks MS.1647.Z.03/02b and MS.1647.Z.03/02c, in which the term 'by the Victorious Arm of King George' in the title of the original, has become 'by the Victorious Arms of King George', and is later transmuted into 'by the victorious army of King George'. Another contemporary map of the town, showing the Stuart fortifications, by Louis Petit, is at shelfmark MS.1647.Z.03/01d.
