Scarce 18th Century Plan of Dublin

This is a wonderful example of Andrews' plan of the City of Dublin. At left of centre at top is a wonderful decorative cartouche, to which a man, presumably a surveyor is pointing.  

Inside the left border and outside the top and bottom borders are numbered references, to various locations throughout the city. The plan was issued with Andrews' "A Collection of Plans of the Capital Cities of Europe..." which had various editions between, 1771 and 1772.
