179:. Definite encyclopedic value. Unfortunately time has not been kind to this map. The decomposition has not been too extensive in the essential locations, so a restoration would be possible (although it would be laborious) but this particular scan is not high enough resolution. The inscription below and to the right of the title is too pixelated to be very legible and the lines outlining the city blocks are incomplete. This is probably a shortcoming of the scanner settings, not of the map itself. So if a better scan is available I would gladly share restoration tips with the nominator and possibly assist with the work. 34: 48:

Faded text? If it help I have it in higher resolution, but the original file is too large for browsers to open I think, and users with low bandwith would have huge troubles viewing it. --

because it's really just a decent scan of an old map. It isn't really that exciting in itself just for being old , else we'd be having every scanned in old document featured.
