Lithographed by the famous firm of Julius Bien. Depicts coastal topography with a "U.S. Customs House" (with a spot of original color) standing alone in this snug little bay. Scale 1:40,000 allows for a lot of detail. Minor toning along folds and tiny separation at fold intersection, else very good.
