Charming 18th century copper engraved miniature map with lovely hand color.

The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason.

Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a pleasing age patina.
