This is an original map in very good clean condition, the uncoloured ground paper is a little discoloured and colouring looks to be later but no other faults noted, approx 0.25 inch margin showing beyond the printed image, cut away verso to show the reverse printed in latin. Housed in a fairly recent plain gilt frame and green card mount.
