- Condition: This rare wall map of Europe was printed from six plates and was hand colored with typical colors of the period when the map was printed and published. Due of the oxidations in the old colors, especially in the green colored parts overall skillful paper restaurations were necessairy. Also larger parts or sections of the map are with losses and were therefore carefully redrawn. Overall the map is now in very good condition, the old linen was removed and the six sheets were mounted again on modern linen in the old style. Old oxidations in the colors were stabilized. A nice and attractive example of a rare Dutch wall map of the European continent.
