1760005142np London 1760. Copper Engraving. Very Good. Copper engraving on laid paper. Measurement border to border: 22.5 x 17.3 cm. 8.9" x 6.3". Sheet measurements: 30 x 20.7 cm. 11.8" x 8.1" Condition: a mild crease which begins just above the "C" in Southern Ocean and winds its way northeast always staying in the empty void of the Southern Ocean terminating just below Ascension Island; 1 cm. closed tears at both top and bottom edges contained within margins never invading borders; mild foxing in spots and a faint offsetting from what looks to be another map most likely: Good-to-Very Good. A handsome map which we greatly appreciate hasn't had to endure any later hand coloring. Here's a 2001 description from Old World Auctions: "Charming small map of the continent with a decorative cartouche and compass rose. Considerable detail along the coasts with Indian names in the interior. Part of the African continent is shown at right and the Solomon Islands are shown in the Pacific. Several discoveries are noted by name and date." <br/><br/> unknown
