Notes
The map is in fair condition. It has been folded many times and is well worn, with deep creases along the folds. It is folded into fourths left to right, and eight's from top to bottom. There is a tear in the second crease from the top, on the left side of the document, 20 cm long. There are also holes torn in document (from wear, opening and closing), at the intersection of the folds at the fourth and sixth creases from the top on the left side of the document, as well as the second from the top in the centre, and the fourth and fifth on the right side. There is a hole between the first and second fold from the top in the centre, 1x1 cm. The document is taped around the bottom, right, and top edges. However, part of the edge is torn off along the top left of the document.
The folds have also been extensively reinforced with tape on the back of the document.
