Question How was this image obtained? The focus in the upper and lower parts are unequal, suggesting that a camera was used. What about the colours, are they like the original or were slightly adjusted (they seem weird)? Also, there is a tilt in the upper part which is not apparent in the lower part. I'm asking all these questions because I like this map very much ("New and much rigorous(?) city of S. Petersburg in Russia... Wow !). Alvesgaspar 21:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Not disturbed by the colours which can reflect cartography usage of the time. Not disturbed either by "tilt" or "focus" defects which again, can stem from the original print itself (the lines on carts could be hand drawn and ink could spill out (we say in French that the ink "drools"). --Diligent 09:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
