A sharp impression with full contemporary color on a bright sheet with a Strasbourg lily watermark, light printer's ink residue, some ink stains in the cartouche at bottom right, and extraneous creasing in the top corners of the map. There are a few short tears and chips along the edges of the sheet that have been archivally repaired with old paper on verso.
