UAM - AI Test JULY
After John Speed, “The Countie of Westmorland and Kendale” map. Engraved and hand-colored print, likely 17th or 18th century, depicting the county with towns, rivers, stylized mountains, and surrounding regions like “CUMBERLAND,” “LANCASTER SHIRE,” and “YORK SHIRE.” Bordered by cartouches containing a compass rose, scale of miles, coats of arms, and allegorical figures. Presented under glass in a simple black wooden frame. Apparent age-related toning to the paper, minor discoloration and possible foxing visible. No significant tears or creasing evident. A small orange and white sticker is affixed to the lower right corner of the glass.
Condition report:
The map appears to be in overall good condition for its age, commensurate with wear expected from an antique print. Some age toning, minor discoloration, and possible foxing are visible. No significant tears or creases are apparent. The frame is simple and likely later.
