A fine example of J. Thomson’s 1814 map of the British Channel or English Channel. Depicts England from Cornwall eastward as far as Canterbury and the Strait of Dover. Extends northward as far as Pembroke Shire and St. Brides Bay. Includes London and the Isle of Wright. On the opposite side of the Channel this map covers from Goulet Harbor eastward to Boulogne. Minimal inland detail but excellent costal coverage. Engraved by J. and G. Menzies of Edinburgh for issue as plate no. 14 in the 1815 edition of Thomson’s New General Atlas .
