Attractive map . Horzontag centerfold. Parallel to it a crease across map. Beautiful baroque cartouche with mythical creatures holding up fruit de mer. On top of title cartouche putti holding the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Norway. Narrow margins all aroung - yet ample enough for unproblematic matting and framing.
