A well engraved and detailed plan of the port and city of Meaco, present-day Kyoto. Jacques Nicolas Bellin was the leading French hydrographer of the mid-eighteenth century, best known for his chart books and the maps prepared for inclusion, as in this instance, in L'Abbe Prevost's "Histoire Generale Des Voyages ...". Based on the latest reports and publications, this copies the larger format plan by Scheuchzer of about 25 years earlier and demonstrates clearly the rectilinear arrangement of streets.
