Item description from seller

Good. Dissected and mounted on linen in 20 panels. Wear along linen fold lines. Small unrepaired splits along a few linen fold lines. Size 48.5 x 39 Inches. A stunning 1794 Jean Rocque wall map of Ireland, here dissected on linen in a separate issue. A Closer Look Coverage embraces the entirety of Ireland, with towns, hamlets, bishoprics, counties, forests, and more identified. An inset in the lower right situates Ireland within the context of the British Isles and details the sea coasts of Great Britain and Ireland. A short description of Ireland also appears in the lower right. An elaborate title cartouche in the upper left features the Irish Harp over two pensive bovines and a demurely positioned if unclothed maiden. Publication History and Census This map was created by John Rocque and published by Laurie and Whittle. It appears both, as here, in a separate issue, and as plate nos. 9-10 in the 1797 edition of Thomas Kitchin's General Atlas . Well represented in institutional collections. References: OCLC 51510279. Bonar Law, Andrew, The Printed Maps of Ireland 1612-1850, 93(ii). Rumsey 0411.014, 0411.015. National Library of Australia, MAP RM 2338.
