Lovely Hand-drawn Surveyor's Map #1: 31 Acres, Lenoir County, NC, 1878 textured with tiny holes down one

with tiny holes down one edge from where it was stitched into a notebook and some staining to one bottom corner

I am happy to have a new pane of glass cut for this and inserted before shipping (no charge) OR ship as is if you wish to reframe it

and this is a fantastic one

making me wonder if it wasn't someone just learning the game of chess who made it
