A striking map centered on Groningen that shows portions of the bordering provinces of Drente and Frisland. The map is filled with pictorial representations of the cities and topography. A finely engraved figural cartouche features the agriculture of area, a coat of arms, and incorporates the scale of miles and key.

Condition: B+

A nice example with a dark impression and original color. The centerfold has some toning, an abrasion, and separations at the top and bottom that touch the map border; the lower tear has been reinforced on the verso. Still presents very well.

Estimate: $300 - $400
