The document forms part of a collection gifted by Leeds aristocrat Sir Alvary Gascoigne.
An illustrated account of a 17th Century British sea battle has piqued the interest of staff at Leeds Central Library.
Ms Isaac, who is researching the library's Gascoigne collection, said of the document: "With each individual ship and naval manoeuvre captured so minutely, you can actually see the battles played out step-by-step, much like an Instagram or social media story would do today. A joint Anglo-French fleet anchored in the bay was surprised by Dutch ships but the battle ended in a hard-fought draw, with both sides claiming victory.
