  Kashnor notes, "Exceedingly rare War Plan of the final action in the War of Independence. It shows Cornwallis cooped up in York by the American Army, and in Gloucester by the combined forces of Colonials and French. The French Fleet of thirty-two vessels under De Grasse has closed the entrance to York River, and the French ships under Barras hold the entrance to James River, dominate Fort George, and guard Barwell's Ferry. Only a few copies of this plan are known. The victory of Washington was a terrible blow to England, and it is doubtful whether the publisher sold enough copies to pay for his trouble in engraving. In any case, few people in England would wish to keep the map to remind them of a great failure." Relief: no. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Plane. Printing Process: Copper engraving.

  Kashnor notes, "Ratzer's famous plan with the rare view. It is number 41 in Phelps Stokes Iconography. It is the best map of New York at the period, and Stokes states that 'even today much used in searching titles.' Of all the views of New York issued during the eighteenth century this is the finest, and its execution most excellent. There is little doubt that the original view was drawn by Captain Thomas Davies, of the Artillery."
