About the Item
This is an original antique map titled "Carte de la Caroline Méridionale et Septentrionale et de la Virginie," depicting the regions of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia in the early 19th century. Created by Pierre Antoine Tardieu, this map provides a detailed view of the geographical and political landscape of these southeastern United States areas.
Map Details:

- **Creator**: Pierre Antoine Tardieu (1784-1869)
- **Publication Date**: Early 19th century
- **Dimensions**: Approximately 34.5 x 43.5 cm (13.5 x 17.25 inches)
- **Features**: The map includes detailed representations of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, highlighting political boundaries, major cities, rivers, and other geographical features. The title cartouche is located in the lower right corner, and the outlines are hand-colored to distinguish different regions.

Condition Overview:
1. **Paper Quality**: The paper shows typical signs of aging, such as slight yellowing, but remains in good condition without major tears or damage.
2. **Edges and Corners**: The edges are slightly worn, with minor fraying and small tears, particularly near the center fold. These imperfections do not significantly impact the overall readability or aesthetic value.
3. **Center Fold**: A center fold is present, which is common for maps of this period that were often folded for storage or publication. The fold appears intact without significant separation or damage.
4. **Color and Print Quality**: The hand-colored outlines remain vibrant and clear, highlighting the borders of different regions. The print quality is excellent, with sharp, legible text and detailed illustrations.
5. **Staining and Spots**: There are a few spots and stains, particularly near the edges and along the fold. These do not obscure any critical details of the map.
