Nice Marcel - the manufacturing process of these exquisite things must have been quite something, I used to own a few and always regretted selling them.
Years ago I went to an estate sale and the person that passed away worked for a map company. They had several of the pull down maps that were used in schools, etc. Also there were a box of unissued silk escape maps with about 75 maps in them. There was also a table cloth made of escape maps with approximately a dozen different maps sewn together. I paid $125 for all 75 maps plus the table cloth. Oh, those were the days!
