Some browning to the front of the map around the edges and along the fold lines and browning from the archival tape repairs made a long time ago. A little paper loss at some four corner fold points. All the fold lines near the edge want to split and some have been repaired. Map has major tear and some paper loss across the panel with the title where it was attached in the book. The paper is very fragile. See all photos. Map will be shipped Priority Mail rolled in heavy mylar plastic in a tube/box, insured and tracked. Questions welcomed.
