Itinerary, listed in rear of volume, roughly follows the western coast of France from Poitou to the Spanish border, then gives an account of the Pyrenees from west to east.

David toured France and Spain in 1787–1788, collecting information on 'naval strength and commercial advantages and disadvantages' for his father. See Literary Life (1793), p. 31.

Prints include several from the series 'Réduit de la Collection des Portes de France dessinés pour le Roi en 1776', N[icholas] Ozanne del.
