England & Wales c. 1760-70 Jefferys? decorative hand color map

Issued c.1760-70, London, possibly by T. Jefferys.

Charming mid-18th century engraved map with attractive hand color.

Map shows clear signs of age, time and handling, but in a good way, still a nice looking 18th century decorative map.

2" tear from left middle edge extends into Cornwall (well closed on reverse), small piece of left edge blank margin reinstated with old blank piece of paper. Lower centerfold nicely and cleanly strengthened with tissue paper. 

Map still displays very well visually. Looks like a nice decorative 18th century map that shows some age but is in no way offensive or distracting to look at- the flaws actually add visual character.
