I would love to have that, but I'm sure the price is pretty steep.
yeah maybe so, [USER=10888]@andrewm[/USER]
The folded map that I mentioned above ($275) is in poor condition and it is the B/W edition not the hand tinted edition.
The David R. site is selling a reproduction print for $90 and framed for $275.
I looked in my Charting Louisiana -500 years of Maps by the Historic New Orleans Collection book and it is included. So they have one in their collection. I don't think they need two.
I am acquainted with one of the authors ( engaged him as a speaker of an LSPS seminar once)... so I might email him and ask for a ball park appraisal or some advice.
