●All reproduction prints are printed as "museum quality", using advanced ink formulas and durable museum quality paper. The reproduction prints reflect the state of repair of the original conserved document. Stains and imperfections reflected in the original map at the time it was collected for conservation are in some cases left un-retouched, as they reflect the character and charm of the vintage original. Some major imperfections, such as dark fold lines have been removed when possible.

●For canvas prints the 2" margin is required if you plan to stretch it to a wooden frame.
