Hello Linda,
After reading several of these postings, I'm wondering what is it a map of? Is this a historic map because of its provenance (who and where it came from) or is it a really old (dating back centuries) or unique map? If it is a run of the mill (readily available) map that happens to be large, reproducing it would not make sense. If the value of the map lays in the fact it was a gift to H. Hughes from A. Hepburn, then you should exhibit the original, but for a limited time. How dull would it be to exhibit a copy of an ordinary map that was given to Howard Hughes; big deal unless of course it is a fabulously old and unique map that has intrinsic value. Good luck.
Take Care,
Grant Gerlich
