''Half way between Carteia and the Spanish lines, runs into the sea a little river, collected from different springs about a mile up the country; on its pleasant banks several Spaniards have established themselves, and planted gardens of orange-trees, sweet canes, pomegranates, and evergreens; the eternal blossom of the oranges, and the advantage of angling in a river full of fish, induced a gentleman of the garrison to erect a little hut of canes under the shade of an enormous walnut, where the officers find beds, and the little requisites for passing an agreeable day in this amiable spot.'' From Francis Carter's two-volume 'A Journey from Gibraltar to Malaga' (1777). Carter (1741?-1783), a traveller and collector of coins, was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries that same year, but died before completing his next work, a study of early Spanish printed books.

[London, 1766-90.]
Rare engraved map on two sheets, unjoined; 18th century watermarked paper. Each sheet c. 410 x 400mm (16¼ x 15¾"). With large margins; left sheet trimmed to image ready for joining, splits in binding folds.
Detailed plan of the Battle of Maxen (20 November 1759), between the Prussians and Austrians in Saxony, part of the Seven Years' War. A Prussian corps of 14,000 commanded by Friedrich August von Finck was sent to threaten lines of communication between the Austrian army at Dresden and Bohemia. However the action was anticipated and Field Marshal Count Daun surrounded the Prussians with 40,000 men, forcing Finck to surrender. The map comes from General Henry Lloyd's 'History of the late War in Germany', published in London in three volumes between 1766-90. Originally published anonymously, the work was written for military professionals. Lloyd was criticical of Frederick II's predictable tactics, as shown in this battle.
