The hand colouring has been done with a good hand, there are incidences of some toning, but these are generally sporadic and don't affect the overal condition of the vg map, two dark spots approx 1.5cm, one in the centre left of the fold and t'other on the plate mark top left hand corner, some slight creasing towards bottom end of centre fold. Verso shows similar amount of small toned areas, with top dark spot showing through. The Hogarth frame and mount appears to be recently done. Genrally good to (more) very good.
