CONDITION

It is very fine, with overall toning, some water stains, and minor discolorations, as is typical with maps this age. There are very small holes in the linen at fold intersections. It is dissected and linen-backed. There is a moisture stain on the linen. The outline coloring is faint, apart from the blues. See photos for details.
