拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

A very good example of this very rare map, with strong colour, and with only very minor finger-soiling, mostly confined to margins, some tiny losses to verso where the stub has been removed along the centrefold, with two tiny resultant holes (one in Sicily, the other in central-eastern Europe).

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair, and wear and tear. The nature of the lots sold means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
