What is Moiré Pattern?
Moiré is an optical phenomenon that occurs when repetitive patterns in a scene interfere with the camera's sensor resolution. This interference causes a distortion in the image, resulting in unwanted lines, colors, and artifacts. - proedu.com
Most antique prints from before 1900 were created as etchings, using many repeated lines to create the image, which is unfortunately a weakness for digital cameras. Moiré can cause a print to look odd online, but it is only in the digital image of the print! The antique print that you would purchase and receive would not have any moiré pattern or effects. It can be difficult to photograph an antique print in a way that does not produce moiré pattern, but we do our best to capture an image that accurately represents the antique print or map.
Examples of Moiré:
