A fine, large map of the region with a beautiful decorative cartouche surrounded by angels and the British coat of arms. Two other angels hold the Wales armorial shield, and at bottom is a large vignette of the king holding court. A very fine impression and attractive later color. Professionally backed with Japanese tissue for no apparent reason, as there are no visible tears or fold weakness.
