Lovely 19th century engraved and lithographed map with original hand color.
Note the very early county configuration. An early owner has written in pencil within two Lakes "320 Miles Long" and "280 miles long".
Nice looking example, clean and fresh, pleasing age patina, any small age spots or minor age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
