Message:: [QUOTE="Thrifster, post: 393433, member: 6264"]Hi, thanks for your reply and information. It does not seem to be an offset in the printing process of compass lines or the in the letters LVCEM above the 180 degree line. If you notice in the last image I posted the compass line at the 180 degree line and the letter "L" above it an offset printing would not reverse the letter "L". The light line next to the 180 degree line is positioned under the light reverse letter "L" being consistant with another image the same size of the maps image being placed directly on top of it in reverse or upside down over it perhaps causing the fresh ink to bleed onto the original maps paper I think. I guess it would be possible there was a fold at one time but I don't see the presence of one. I really didn't want to remove it from the frame for a closer look. If you zoom into the 3rd image I originally posted at the beginning of this thread you can clearly see the copper plate impressions outside the border of the mape image. I'm going to look some more at the imag and try to figure out what is going on.[/QUOTE]
