It highlights principal towns such as Welshpool, Llanidloes, Newtown, and Machynlleth, with rivers, roads, and hill shading showing the region's terrain. The hand-colored borders mark the administrative divisions, and a decorative compass rose and union reference chart are included. Condition: The map is in good condition with light age toning and wide clean margins. The engraving is clear and the original hand coloring remains vibrant. No tears or major imperfections are present. Framing suggestions: An acid-free mat in ivory or soft beige will complement the aged paper tone. A dark wood, black, or antique gold frame will suit the historic style. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the colors.
