Condition: B

Dark impression, original hand coloring. Small wood-block stamp below cartouche appears to be that of the map seller. Close margin at bottom with a little loss to meridian numbers, some lazy creases along centerfold, and a small puncture at extreme left that is closed on verso. Shows much better than the condition suggests.
