A fine impression with generous margins, and original outline color in map with later coloring in cartouche and decorative elements. There are faint damp stains in corners of sheet, a couple of creases just above title cartouche, and a tear confined to bottom blank margin that has been closed on verso with archival tape. Otherwise a bright, clean example.
