  • Condition: Complete issue of 16 pages. Paper was made with rag content at the time so the paper quality is good. The issue was previously bound keeping the pages within safe for over 150 years. There is some foxing and two small light water stains along the two upper corners that persist throughout the issue. The right hand one does not encroach on the text or illustrations but the left hand corner one is deeper and leaves a light brown stain along the center crease. It can be seen in my photos, especially the centerfold. The census material is not affected by these stains. The centerfold is tipped in so there are no pinholes along the center seam. The issue is stored in a clear plastic acid-free sleeve with one end open.
