No. While we do our best to clean up the images and remove distracting elements like library stamps and book binding creases, we also want the maps to retain their historical character as much as possible. This may mean leaving in rich textures, fading, stains, etc. There are many judgment calls in this process - it’s a delicate balance and we have (sometimes heated) internal debates about image restoration. This is our passion after all! Our main goal is to deliver the best possible version of the map or print you saw on our site. We believe we’ve gotten very good at this over the years - our customers love our prints!
