Good early colour, good condition with wide margins extra. Slight discolouration to the paper. There is a very goodbook about printed maps of the British Isles by R.W. Shirley in which he says ‘Delisle’s general map of the British Isles, produced at the beginning of his career, fully reflects the high standard of his work. It is as accurate as may be expected for the time based on the foremost acknowledges authorities for each part: Speed for England and Wales, Pomt for Scotland and Petty for Ireland. Takes as a whole, the map is a fine example of polished engraving, restrained decoration and pleasing balance.’

Hello,
I am changing over a few items on display in the Emsworth showroom and you will see some long fender stools and a couple of bedside tables. I have also changed some of the pictures on display, so have a look in the window if passing.

I am continuing to locate some of the finest antiques to offer you and have recently added more chess sets, a collection of woolwork pictures and I am hoping to see a selection of singing bird boxes shortly.
Please remember that the Emsworth showroom is normally only open by appointment at the moment, so please contact me if you wish to view anything there.
