A sharp impression with full contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouche on a sturdy sheet with a large "4" watermark. There is soiling that is most noticeable along the centerfold and edges of the sheet, as well as archival repairs to a centerfold separation at bottom and to a few short worm tracks mostly confined to the blank margins.
