Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value:
Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability.
Nowadays it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors, and these are therefore more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
- Original colors: the colors were applied around the time the map was issued.
- Original o/l colors: only the borders were colored at the time of publication.
- Colored: the colors were applied recently or at the end of the 20th century ("attractive colors" may also be used).
