Original
hand colored 1773 map of Ireland, with decorative rococo-style
cartouche.
- The image area measures 28 x
19 cm [11" x 7½"], and the
distance scale is measured in English miles.
- It is titled A New Map of Ireland, from the
Best Observations, and it labels provinces and
counties, with Galway misidentified as Galloway.
- Other details
include cities, towns, rivers, bays, harbors, and islands.
-
A pair of
sheep rest on the
grass next to the cartouche.
- The map was engraved by Prinald and published in A
New System of Geography: or, A General Description of the World,
by Daniel Fenning and Joseph Collyer, London; 1773.
-
Condition: The right margin had been trimmed off
close to the neat line and
then reattached. There's a bit of old glue residue on the upper and
lower corners
at the right edge, outside of the image area. Otherwise, the map is
bright and
clean, with no marks, rips, or tears. It is
blank on the back, with no printing on the reverse side. Please
see the scans and feel free to ask any
questions.
-
This is an original, authentic antique map, not

genuine. We will include with your purchase a photocopy of the dated
title page from
the book in which it was published.
- Buy with confidence! We are always happy to combine
shipping on the
