This is hand drawn map on some sort of oiled parchment - a bit like a thin floor lino. That might explain why there is no foxing at all on the map, but there is on it's card backing which is very foxed, but which was probably left with the map down the years because of the signature 'F. Wilson' and the date '1834' in the top left hand corner. The sides of the map aren't equal, with the side nearest the east coast very slanted towards the bottom with about a half inch to an inch in the difference of the lengths across top and bottom. There is a little water stain intrusion in 2 or 3 places on the edge of the map. Nothing much. I got it in a beautifully carved Victorian neo-Gothic frame in Cherry wood. A very intriguing item it's painted in Ink and watercolor with all the Place and Region names hand written in Calligraphy and doubled block print style. A painstaking process that must have taken Mr. Wilson some time.
