These Federal documents have been scanned in their storage bags to show all details while protecting the maps. The crease tanning looks more severe than it is. Creases with splits are noted and not uncommon on these early folding maps . Creases and splits can be repaired upon request , but we leave them until sold. As with all our inventory, if more photos are needed or an offer at less than list price would be presented, please email scheinprints@sbcglobal.net
