They are letting someone touch that map with their finger?

Either it's in a sleeve or it's a working copy. Yes, copies are that good.
Rochambeau's maps of the Revolutionary War are in the Library of Congress and can be viewed on line. They're extraordinary.
To: Sacajaweau
Thanks, that makes sense. I saw the picture and thought no one in their right mind would touch that with a bare finger or let someone do it if it were actually original.
