Oh Angie! What a doozy! lolol! Ummmm...cataloger's judgement!
Actually, your line of thinking makes sense to me. The map that was carved into the stone is the original. Whether someone had rubbed it or traced it onto paper then makes it a reproduction, and the process, while not technically "printing" in the sense that a machine is used to "do printing", seems to me to be a form of printing. If there was a straw poll taken I'd vote for this being a "print" reproduction.
It will be very interesting to see how others answer your question. Good luck!

Hi have a map that is a rubbing from a stone. So, it's a one of a kind, hand done rubbing but a reproduction of a map on stone.
So is it a manuscript or is the rubbing method simply the printing process?
Help.
