But it’s not the same as seeing and touching the original! The connection to history, touching the same document the cartographer made...wow!
guess its better than stuffed under the mattress, Ok, I'll do it.
Is Chumley going to right me up?
All kidding aside: I hate when I see those guys handle these historical documents with the bare hands, they should put on the gloves. Even the expert they call in, who should know better, doesn't use gloves.
@ a million $ I would not be comfortable touching it @ all. It is best behind glass in a museum.

The Foley Square courthouses are among the most famous in America. People would be surprised how often they show up in TV and movies. For example, they are the exterior for Twelve Angry Men. So many famous trials have been held there. Example: the Rosenberg trial.
Nice!
