The map consists of two parts. The eastern half unfolds to 23" wide by 27" tall. The western part is 21.5" wide by 27" tall. Both are skillfully and attractively hand colored. The maps are backed in linen, as issued. They are housed in the publisher's original, green cloth portfolio, which is printed in black and embossed in gold on the front cover and in blind on the rear. Gilt lettering is still as bright and shiny as new.. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed). Hardcover. Fine condition.
