"Masulipatam": engraved view of the town from the landward side, after Bellin, from Prévost's Histoire générale des voyages (1752), when the French held it (1750–59)

Engraved panorama of a flat walled town by the sea, with flags flying over the buildings and ships offshore, seen across open ground and a long causeway on which bullock carts and people travel, with a man and trees in the foreground.
