[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4535352, member: 84"]I found this yesterday at a new thrift store I found (it's actually a small hole in the wall store run by a Cuban family) and thought it was beautiful! I'm going to have to change the frame because there is some rippling on the bottom matting, but it doesn't touch the map. When I got it home & checked it out I found that the original 1710 map measured 38" x 29.5" and mine measures 38.5" x 26.5" and 33" x 45" when measuring the foamboard/backing, which puts it within the range of an original - and made me come here to see what exactly I have! Did they make copies the same size as the originals? Did I get lucky & find an original?! Thanks in advance for any help.
