Very good early example from the first un-numbered edition of 1675, subsequently numbered 8 in the lower right corner, when it was realised that the plates needed to be numbered to assist the binder.

Slight browning at centrefold otherwise clean, undamaged, no tears or repairs in fine later hand colour. Large paper, fleur de lis watermark, generous margins. Includes original page of typeset text description of the route.
