The tapestries were destroyed in the great fire of 1834. These later highly decorative engravings were drawn by Hubert-François Gravelot and engraved and published by John Pine in 1739.

The finest and most decorative of all the charts of the South East of England, two large sheets conjoined, showing the River Thames to London, and the sea coast round to Portland Bill, with the Isle of Wight and Alderney, an inset detail of the Strait of Dover and prospects of Portsmouth and Rochester & Chatham. Published in Mortier's 'Neptune François', entitled 'Cartes Marines a l'Usage des Armées du Roy de la Grande Bretagne'. One of nine charts, engraved by Romeyn de Hooghe, one of the foremost artist/etchers of the period. Mortier's motives in the production of this atlas was undoubtedly to flatter the new King William III (to whom this map is dedicated), after James II was overthrown in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Koeman describes the sea atlas as the 'most expensive sea atlas' of the period, 'intended more as a show-piece than something to be used by the pilots as sea'.
