A nice impression on sturdy paper with the watermark of a double-headed eagle with a heart. There are a few faint stains and archival repairs to a centerfold separation that just enters the map border at bottom and to several short tears in the top blank margin. Professionally remargined at right and left with the neatline replaced in facsimile. There is a light gray shadow along the centerfold that is caused by our scanner and does not appear on the chart itself.
