Comment Scan looks like it was a little tight. The paper borders are visible only in the lower left corner, and they are clearly not 100% straight. Also, is that a stitching error or something near the fold midway up (also on the viewer's left side)? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:57, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The map includes several maps, diagrams, and texts throughout itself. Being tight after scanning (If there is) may be natural. I didn't get your words of its borders. They are fully shown at 4 corners. As an example one of them in top-right shows Jupiter belts and one corner in top-left displays sun. The map is 220 years old and we had better not to expect a modern NASA map. thanks for assessment Crisco 1492 Alborzagros (talk) 13:29, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Open the image in full size, and look at the bottom left corner (viewer's left). That looks like the map was not sitting square on the scanner, and so the edge of the paper was picked up. Hence my concerns over the crop. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:04, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The segments of the map seem to be out of alignment with one another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.132.240 (talk) 15:53, 7 March 2014‎
Neutral Per Crisco 1492. There so appear to be alignment issues.--Mark Miller (talk) 04:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
