The map has a few faults, the front cover is detached (see pictures) there some loss to top edge at panel corners, there are two vertical splits to the backing linen along the length of two of the top panels and a partial split to a third. There is some lifting at panel corners with minor loss, some noticeable browning as seen in the pictures.
