CHESHIRE

An engraved county map. Title panel. Compass pointer and scale. 13 3/4 x 9 inches. Hand coloured. The map was mounted in a dark green sunk mount some years ago. The reason can be seen on lifting the map. The blank margins of the map are very narrow and the bottom margin has a ragged edge. The mount hides the name of the engraver Samuel Neele. Looking at the map in the mount it looks quite presentable and is read to be frames.
