This is a folded map so has the original fold creases. Specimens vary a lot in condition depending how many times they have been unfolded and handled. This is a fairly good specimen just having some splits and slight tears with no loss of the engraved image at one point in the middle of the map where two creases meet. Plus a series of staple size binding holes running down the centre fold where there is some loss of engraved area. Some strenthening patches to the fold have been added to the verso of map in past years. Otherwise a very nice clean specimen which would make a wonderful and interesting wall decoration when framed. The price of the plan when first sold was 1 guinea.
