This map presents a very interesting and unusual projection with north oriented to the top left. The map depicts political boundaries, place names, and basic topography. According to Jolly, the binder’s instructions note the error in the title which should be A Map of the Old Continent… instead of Old Map of the Continent. The map was intended to be included in the December 1758 issue, but was included in the supplement. Decorated by a rococo style title cartouche.

A nice impression, issued folding, with light offsetting from an opposing page of text. A binding trim in the bottom right margin has been replaced with old paper, and a tiny associated tear that just crosses the neatline has been archivally repaired on verso.
