Although dated 1741, this copy of the original map of 1718 by John Henri Bastide and John Dumaresq, (see images 00003033-3034) has been signed by Richard Coombs. He does not appear on the Tower of London Drawing Room list as a draughtsman until 1755, and left in 1760, so the map could have been copied by him, any time between those dates.
