Alexander Dallas Bache, Superintendent of the United States Coast Survey

"Report of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey showing the progress of the survey during the year 1860". Washington: Government Printing Office, 1861. 36th Congress, 2d Session. House of Representatives. Ex. Doc. No. 14.

Fair: Partial splits along folds. The map is printed on paper which has become brittle with age, as is usual with US Coast Survey maps of this era. The map is fragile and at risk of tears, splits along the fold and flaking, even with careful handling. There is toning along the folds. By the time you receive the map, its condition may have deteriorated compared to that shown. For an additional charge, we can arrange to have the map laid down onto linen to stablise it; we recommend this approach if you intend to frame the map. Please note any other blemishes on the scan prior to purchasing this picture. Please contact us if you would like to arrange to view this map. This is a folding map. There is nothing printed on the reverse side, which is plain
