Notes
The second issue of the earliest engraved view of the town, first published in Hasted's monumental 'History of Kent' published over the years 1778-1798. This plate shows a view of Folkestone from the sea, before the harbour was built. This second edition view differs from the first in that the sky and edges have been trimmed and a new less elaborate title engraved, for the smaller edition of the text reissued in 1800.
