A few repairs to edge tears including two extending into the map border. Some additional light creasing. Vertical printers crease from bottom margin to Baldock. Small top margin. Watermark for Balston & Co. 1827. Despite these issues the map remains an uncommon, decorative, neatly engraved map with clear topographical detail.
