of the Society of Merchant
Venturers and are being made available on a Creative Commons Licence (CC BY). Any use can
be made of the images, in whole or part, provided users attribute the Society

While this map describes itself as being the product of the
seventeenth-century Bristol cartographer, James Millerd, this is actually an
updated version of the map, produced 55 years after the 1673 original. While
the 1728 version takes the original map as its template, it incorporates many
new buildings built in the intervening period. Details of the map allow users
access to the highest resolution images we could produce. This includes:
·
Nine photographs, taken in a 3x3 grid of the
main map: top left, top middle, top right, middle left, middle middle, middle right, bottom left, bottom middle, bottom right.
·
