Beautiful, antique map of Switzerland, including surrounding areas of Italy and Germany. This is an authentic 1850 lithograph by J Dower, published by Ward & Lock, Ltd., Pentonville, London. It is an original, sourced from Petermann's "Atlas of Physical Geography" and is NOT a computer reproduction. Includes a mountain profile in the bottom border.

Condition: Very Good Vintage condition, commensurate with age. This map is in incredible shape for being over 170 years old. The paper quality is strong and the colors bright bright. Has light wear, foxing and toning, as well as pencil in lower right margin, but this will all read as vintage character when framed.
