A nice impression on a bright sheet with some light stains at bottom, an edge tear at bottom that enters about 1/2" into image, and a couple of pencil notations in the image. The map was not examined out of the frame. The white triangle near the top of the image is due to a light reflecting on the glass. The map can be removed from the frame for shipping upon request.
