This is the second state with the addition of "Stubming fl." near the center of the map. German text on verso.

References: Van den Broecke #105.2.

Condition: B+

A sharp impression with full contemporary color, light toning along the centerfold, marginal soiling, and small remnants of hinge tape on verso.
