Poor: Brittle, flaking paper with numerous areas of paper loss. The map has been backed onto rice paper at some stage with adhesive that has weakened with age. Discreet old repairs to the front of the map using archival tape. The map is very fragile and requires very careful handling; it may suffer further paper flaking in transit compared to that shown in the image. Would benefit from further conservation. Nevertheless, a very rare and still substantially complete map. Not subject to return. 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
