Description: It is an authentic copper plate engraved antique map approximately 200 years old with original hand coloring as issued and the plate marks clearly embossed around the margins. It is from Oddy's General Atlas of the World: Containing Maps of the Empires, Kingdoms, States, Principalities , Engraved and Carefully Selected from the latest and most Approved Authors by James Wallis (London: Oddy, 1811). A facsimile copy of the title page is included for authenticity. The date of 1811 is actually on the cover of the Atlas. Oddy's name and London publishing address is in the bottom center and "Engraved by J. Wallis" appears in the bottom right margin. The map is being sold as a single individual sheet as seen in the first pic: it is not mounted, matted nor framed.
Size: The map image measures, from neat line to neat line, approximately 8 3/4 by 10 1/2 inches (22x26cm) and is on a 10 1/4 by 13 1/4" (26x33cm) page as seen in the pic with a wide margin all around for framing as seen in the main pic.
Condition: The map is in Good condition with overall light tonal ageing, blank on the reverse, printed on nice quality cotton rag paper that is very strong and well preserved. It is basically as seen in the pics with a few minor spots in the margins as can be seen in the pics, otherwise the map image is very clean and would frame up nicely with a desired antique patina. The binding side has been left untrimmed with the string holes visible along the edge as seen, one could easily trim the edge if desired. The pics are accurate of the actual map.
