" - Beautiful map published in VENICE, with wide margins, excellent aquarelle coloring and very well detailed at every point. - Condition: the condition is very good as shown in the photo, especially considering its age; however there is a very small worm hole in the lower-right area of the map, well outside the drawn field and the description itself. - The overall dimensions of the map are: 34 cm x 25 cm
