Condition: Fine
These maps or prints generally have a clean, sharp image. Paper quality and margin size may vary somewhat. These maps may have some minor flaws (wormholes, minor age toning, minor centrefold or other separations not effecting map image) often depending on print date.
Detailed Explanation
Maps in fine condition usually display clear and crisp engraved lines. Furthermore, the paper remains sound, though margins might be narrower or show slight wear. Minor blemishes like tiny wormholes or age-related toning do not affect the main printed image. Occasionally, a light centerfold split or small margin separation exists without harming the artwork. Such minor imperfections are common in fine examples, reflecting their age and historical journey.
Despite small flaws, these maps stand as beautiful representations of cartographic art with a well-preserved image.
