The art looks much like it does in the photo, with the exception that in several places around the map, patches of stark white paint interrupt the otherwise excellent coloring. I'm not sure if the canvas below is showing through, or if this is some attempt at making the map look "distressed" -- if the latter, it is very poorly done considering the white is BRIGHT white whereas the painting's background is a light brown or tan. Not very happy with that, but it is very interesting to look at, so I don't hate it. Regardless, I wish I had paid less or maybe not bought it at all.  

Pros: Cool design
Cons: Poor quality, a little smelly when just out of the box
