Some paper weakness and soiling at lower right
margin areas; a good impression; overall good. Coverage
is from Scandinavia to an uncertain Nova Zemla
to the Caspian Sea shown as a horizontal oval.
There is a degree of uncertainty regarding the
overall geography of Russia. The Urals are
understated; some of the rivers are wandering
in the wrong direction. |
