<p>[QUOTE="Thrifster, post: 393318, member: 6264"]Thanks for the replies. I have looked at the image with a 10x loop and there are no dot patterns, it is definitely hand-colored. There is also no additional writing under the title in this map as there is in the images of the maps on the links you provided. I measured the image again and it's about 22 3/4" wide by 19" in height. Also, there appears to be a reverse image impression in places on it as if another copy was stored on top of it facing the image creating a reverse ghost like image (look at the title for example). This reverse image shows up lightly in a few other areas. I don't think the reverse image was created from being folded as a book copy might be since there is no fold or crease mark in the center of the map. Also, around the border you can see the copper plate impression. I'm including a few more close up images of the map below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136561[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]136562[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]136563[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136564[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
