Lighthouses are marked in original color. Backed in linen, as issued, with a number of short tears along the edges of the sheet where the linen has separated, as well as along the centerfold. There are light stains and some soiling. There is a small chip that enters the border at bottom left. The shadows along the centerfold in the image are a product of the scanning process and are not visible on the map itself.
