Condition
Condition is described in the main body of the cataloguing, where appropriate
Lots 23-88. Please note that many cartes-à-figures were larger than the bindings into which they were inserted. As a consequence, frequently a careless binder would crop the borders with loss of engraved area, which has happened to some of the maps described here. These maps were removed from their atlas by the owner to better preserve them; in some cases they have had margins added and centrefolds strengthened, and where loss has occurred they have been restored. A few have been backed on fine linen.
