By the time you receive the map, its condition may have deteriorated compared to that shown. For an additional charge, we can arrange to have the map laid down onto linen to stablise it; we recommend this approach if you intend to frame the map. Please note any other blemishes on the scan prior to purchasing this picture. Virtually all antiquarian maps and prints are subject to some normal aging due to use and time which is not obtrusive unless otherwise stated. We offer a no questions asked return policy.
