Condition code is for the maps which are near fine with pleasant light toning and occasional small chips confined to the blank margins. The atlas is detached from its original paper wrappers and should be considered a collection of loose maps that are attractively housed in a black clamshell case. Original paper wrappers are present and tattered along the sheet edges.
