A nice impression on paper with an "SS" watermark, contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouche. There is a stain east of Namur, a printer's crease adjacent to the centerfold at top and light toning along the edges of the sheet. The top edge was trimmed to the neatline by the bookbinder.
