		Unrestored Prints Unrestored Prints are direct replicas of the original, antique maps in our collection. We performed no alteration to the source map, hence our reference to them are "unrestored". We coined this term to make a distinction from our "restored" maps (see below).
		Before Restoration Plate 11 from the Atlas of West Roxbury by Bromley. This map was published in 1924 and was ravaged by many years of heavy use. The map is approximately 22" x 32".Map is separated into two pieces at the crease. There are significant tears and pieces of the map missing.

		Restored Prints Restored Prints are our specialty. We digitize all the maps we own and restore them using the latest graphic software. We sell archival quality prints of the restored maps. We do not perform restoration of the paper maps.
		After Restoration All tears have been repaired. Missing pieces have been extrapolated. Staining has been minimized.
