Summary

"William Burgis's two-sheet view of Charleston is among the most detailed views of the early colonial city. Seen from the Cooper River, the waterfront is marked by Granville's bastion at the extreme left and Craven's bastion on the right, with such landmarks as St. Philip's Church on the skyline."--Publisher's catalog
