Rare broadside plan of the siege of La Rochelle, first published in September 1627, here in a second state, printed in 1628.

In the title the date, 1628, has been inserted after Tavernier’s name. Within the map, the city defences of La Rochelle are infilled with a street plan, keyed to the letterpress below (not found with the BNF exemplar of the first state). Along the southern coast of the harbour, the curtain wall of forts between ‘Forts d’Orleans’ and ‘Fort Tadon’ has been erased. The existing line of ships forming a barrier across the harbour is now labelled ‘Lisu ou l’Estacade qui faisoit Pompee Targon deuoty estre passee’; a second barrier, composed of two piers with a central line of ships is now inserted on the seaward side, the southern end anchored at ‘logement de M.r de Marillac’.
