No Binding. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. large engraved map of the 1764 eclipse of the sun, published by George Witchell and inscribed to Nathaniel Bliss, Astronomer Royal. The map is surrounded with explanatory embellishments, together with an explanation at the foot. Measuring 21" x 16", this is an unframed copy showing four fo…lds. Unfortunately it lacks the top left corner and would need to be completed at that point with a facsimile. Four very small holes to the left margin, the dotted border between England and Wales has been coloured pink and two lines linking London with the North have been inked in. On the rear a caricature has been drawn in ink.
