A detailed, scarce and interesting early chart which could readily be collected on it's own merits, displayed or given as a present.

In Good+ or better antiquarian condition, minor old wrinkling along left edge, mostly clean overall, light minor age dustiness or light surface wear, small scattered spotting or age soiling as seen, some creasing and splits along the left edge, original fold-lines as issued, overall the map is clean and very attractive --
