Ok I took some more pics on my phone. Im working on a better camera but may not be till tomorrow Cry Hopefully you can see the watermarks and you should be able to see how crude this is. Cross your fingers...

You do need a paper expert to be sure. If you live near New England, visit the curator of the Mystic Seaport who may be able to help you. Most maritime museums deal in lots of old paper documents.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Ace
Check with your library if they have a big are at least well maintained archives the people there may be able to help with a date on the paper. Your local collage may have someone in their literature department that can help also.

Ace I am more interested in the WENTWORTH COUNTY ATLAS can you get a picture of the back of the title page that is where the copyright and other info is. The book may be more valuable then the poster.

A scanner on 600dpi works better than a camera for documents and pages.

Nowadays, the all in one printers with scanner, fax and everything else are dirt cheap.
