Big man, little map: this broadsheet was advertised in the York Courant on 2 December 1760 as a sixpenny map ‘shewing at one view, the present seat of war’ and was sold in London by Whiston Bristow, a bookseller in St Paul’s Churchyard. This is the only map engraved by Robert Ledger, a linen draper who happily met with rather more success in his non-map business endeavours.
