Details

ARE
you already imagining it framed on your wall? Or could it be a perfect gift to a friend or a loved one? Decades that passed had soaked this map in wanderlust-ness you are looking for. Genuine vintage look, smell & feel - it's got it all.
If you decide to buy it you've helped me in my quest to give it what it deserves - a new life.

MAP
was printed in 1872, as part of French Atlas "Nouvel Atlas de Géographie Moderne". This is a map of Asia.
This is vintage original, not a scan, modern reproduction or color print. Due to its age it is expected for it to show some signs of use. A serious map collector would probably notice central fold with 1 in (2.5 cm) tear on the bottom edge that was taped with adhesive tape on the back, damaged edges with tiny bottom right edge part missing and a few smudges and stains. But this is a map from a vintage atlas that was used by numerous generations. Imagine how many dreams of distant lands and plans for some grand voyage has this map witnessed. So what all these imperfections really are is the proof that this map is soaked in travel dreams, the wanderlust-ness that you are looking for.
