16th century engraved map with contemporary hand colouring, framed under glass, the visible printed area measuring approx. 45cm x 39cm, the frame overall approx. 69cm x 56.5cm
Map is sealed within its frame and has not been viewed outwith. The mount leaves a void between the map itself and the glass. The paper is generally bubbled/wrinkled within this space. Along the bottom edge, the map has largely escaped from beneath the mount, with some small tears/losses visible. A crease runs vertically down the centre of the map, most severe towards the bottom portion. Lighter diagonal creasing in the upper left hand quarter. Otherwise, light foxing in the lower right. General sunning, with light marks in place.
