Description
A scarce and important map produced during the Civil War. The map shows the Union advance during the Peninsular Campaign including great detail ranging from nautical depth soundings to individual buildings, wells and bridges. This is a well-known map--partly for its unusual closeup perspective—but also because it’s extremely difficult to find complete. When this map was printed, two things nearly guaranteed it not surviving intact. First, the frame was printed so close to the edge at top and bottom, it is often found with an incomplete impression. Second, the map took up so much space in the atlas there was no room for a protective margin. Consequently, edge damage (so common in old Johnson atlases) usually affected this map in a negative way. This specimen, however, has survived intact and shows the entire image. Johnson’s Map of the Vicinity of Richmond and Peninsula Campaign Showing also the interesting localities along the James, Chickahominy and York Rivers; Compiled from the Official Maps of the War Department by A. J. Johnson. Dated 1862 and published in Johnson’s 1867 New Illustrated Family Atlas. Full vivid and original hand coloring. Tiny pinpoint sulfide spot and minor edge toning. A scarce beauty. 17.875 x 26.5
