Charming small mid 19th century map. 

Despite the relatively small size nicely engraved with a remarkable level of tiny detail.

Example displays light age dustiness and small minor spotting as seen, soft crease down left side as seen, overall a nice looking example, pleasing age patina, any minor age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
