The map is printed in laid chain-linked paper with a large fleur-de-lys and crown watermark on the right and another lettered watermark on the left. There is a central vertical fold, as issued. The map has very wide full margins. There are a few small spots in the margins, but the map is otherwise in excellent condition.

Isaac Tirion (1705-1765) was an 18th century Dutch printer, publisher and bookseller. He produced several map atlases of Europe and of Dutch cities and towns. His maps were often based on those of Guillaume De L'Isle.
