Description
A map of Malta shown as if from an elevated viewpoint, orientated with north to the bottom right, with a 33-pont key..
Although the map was published in Calmet's 'Dictionnaire historique' and has a title referring to the shipwreck of St Paul on the island, the mapping is mostly contemporary, with Valletta's geometric defences.
