Koeman M. Mor 1, map 2. Only state.

Full original wash colour. Slight offsetting of green coloured areas to the opposite side of the map. But no breaking through of outlines or of areas coloured in Green! – A very well preserved copy. Examples in full original colour are scarce, whereas copies in outline colour can frequently be found.
