The Captain's Map

 A Map Portfolio
7/8" x 3/4", and the map is 3 1/4" x 1 5/8"

From Robert Louis Stevenson's TREASURE ISLAND

I hadn't read this classic adventure story since childhood. These lines still raise the hair on the back of my neck:

" There were several additions of a later date, but above all, three crosses in red ink - two on the north side of the island, one in the southwest, and, beside this last, in the same red ink, and in a small, neat hand, very different from the Captain's tottery characters, these words: BULK OF TREASURE HERE"

Besides, there's no better place in fiction to learn how to talk like a pirate.

The portfolio is bound in beige Japanese paper, and lined with paper printed with old map. It contains a tinted copy of the map  on the recto, and the pertinent lines from the poem on the verso. 

Also available in a miniature version: THE CAPTAIN'S MAP
