A dark impression with contemporary color on watermarked paper. There are a few minor stains at left and along the upper centerfold primarily in the blank margin (caused by the adhesive used to attach the backstrap). A small dampstain is confined to the top blank margin. There is a faint shadow along the centerfold caused by our scanner that is not present on the physical map.
