THE DUBLIN JOURNAL, Ireland, June 13, 1741
* Battle of Cartagena de Indias map
Certainly the dominant feature of this issue is the large & very detailed front page map titled: "A Plan of Carthagena, Its Harbour and Forts." which is Caragena, Columbia. Most of the front page is taken up with a very lengthy & descriptive report of Admiral Vernon's failed conquest in the Battle of Cartagena (see hyperlink).
Four pages, irregular at the spine. The issue is close-trimmed at the right margin which does slightly shave some letters of last lines (not all) but causes no loss of readability. Some dirtiness as well.
Rare to find a large front page map of a battle from the period.
