Issued c.1786-95, Paris.

Charming and scarce eighteenth century engraved miniature map with lovely detailed full hand color. A visually superior example, not to be confused with a b&w one which lacks this impact.

Original fold lines as issued, once within a tiny pocket atlas issued for ladies who were traveling or might need to consult a map away from home. Today we use our phones for the same purpose. Plus we can zoom in on specific buildings, even look inside many of them. 

Overall clean and attractive example, light age staining.

Map still displays well and looks great.

Delightful little diagram/ map.

Map measures c.8" x 10 1/4".

Engraved area c. 6 7/8" X 9 1/4".
