It is printed on fine rag paper, and may have been folded into a book. Someone has written "Herman Moll" and "1723" on the back, but I am not at all sure that it is a Moll map, and it certainly looks earlier than 1723. Scans of the map can be viewed at the links below, which measures 21 x 50 cm, at correct size. Thank you for any help, Judith. /(See file: https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/acope/www/judy1.pdf/ /(See file: https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/acope/www/judy2.pdf/ Judith Scurfield Map Librarian, State Library of Victoria, 328 Swanston Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000, Australia.
