It was published in Augsburg, Germany in 1760. There is an ornate title cartouche in the upper left corner, a list of major highlight with coordinates in the lower right corner and a distance scale in the lower left corner. The map extends from Iceland, Scandinavia and Russia in the north to North Africa in the south.
This beautiful engraved hand-colored map of Europe is printed on a sheet that measures 20.88" high and 24" wide, with good margins all around. There is a central vertical fold, as issued. There is mild spotting, more prominently in the margins than in the map, and creases the lower corners, with a small area of loss at the lower edge of the right lower corner. There is a short separation of the lower center fold, which has been professionally reinforced on the verso. This striking map is otherwise in very good condition, particularly for its age. less
