You are bidding on a very beautifully engraved and extremely rare 100% original and authentic 240 year old antique map of the above year and region from the extremely rare and large format edition of Guthrie's Geography. This map is not from the small format uncolored map version of the atlas but rather from the large format and original hand colored edition. Most of the maps in the book are attributed Thomas Kitchin and/or were published under his supervision so you may see a name (example John Barber) instead of Kitchin. I have researched these versions of his maps and I cannot find any other examples available online or anyw else so these maps are extraordinarily rare and valuable. This is an investment grade map and will continue to rise in value over time due to the extreme scarcity of the atlas and the map. The map is 100% authentic and is not a reproduction. The price of this particular atlas complete sells for between $7,000 and $10,000 and individual maps sell for many hundreds of dollars.
