Other versions	intense color, less resolution (this image) highest resolution (same printing plate, different colouration including different delination of some border)
Technical note InfoField	Note that pixel line and row 256 are duplicates of line and row 255 resp. (disregarding jpeg-artifacts); this is noteable only near the top double stroked line just on top of longitude numbering, while the left row of duplicates is within the range of non-printed margin and therefore unobtrusive; can’t fix it losslessly, but be aware of it before doing any modifications!
