The wonderful original colors are well preserved. I have tried my best to show the colors as they are in the photos above.The map has been stored away in the Garnavillo Museum for many years and would like to see the light of day in a home where it will be admired and cared for.All proceeds will go back to the museum for continuing historical projects.
