Condition: A
A sharp impression with contemporary outline color on a sturdy sheet with a chaplet watermark. There is a hint of toning along the centerfold, light toning along the edges of the sheet, and an archivally repaired centerfold separation at bottom. The light gray shadow along the centerfold is caused by our scanner and doesn't appear on the map itself.
