Fine 18th century engraved map with attractive hand color.

Remains a nice looking example with a pleasing age patina. Note how the ink used in the original hand number written at top left has stained the paper around over the past 240 years. Any further age related issues are minor and easy to overlook or forgive.

Original center fold as issued.
