Manuscript plan depicting a star-shaped fort (of five points) atop a small island. Cannons line the ramparts, and at each corner of the fort is a flag bearing the Cross of Saint George. The castle is named for Robert Devereux (1565-1601), who from 1597 to 1601 served as Master-General of the Ordnance to Queen Elizabeth.
Title from caption.
Within black border. Mounted on cloth.
Provenance: From the collection of George Legge, first Baron Dartmouth, 1648-1691 (see Sotheby's sale, March 8-10, 1948). Baron Dartmouth was Master-General of the Ordnance to Charles II and James II. His collection of maps was partly abstracted from Royal map collections, an arrangement described by Pepys in Bodleian Library MS Rawl. A. 171, 17r-20v. See also Skelton and Wallis. The map is numbered "51a" in the Dartmouth collection.
