Free Shipping on Purchases of 5 or More Maps and Prints Description: It is an authentic engraved antique Civil War era map with original handcoloring and the desirable decorative border. It is from an 1864 edition of Johnson's Family Atlas (New York: Johnson & Ward, 1864).A copy of the title page is included for authenticity. Johnson's name appears in the title block on the map. Johnson began his career under J.H. Colton, from whom he bought the business, revised the plates with the continued help of Colton and produced his Family Atlas, published yearly throughout the 1860s. In 1867, it won the gold medal in its category at the Paris Exhibition. No doubt one of the great Civil War era atlases of the period, only comparable to the atlases produced by his competitor, S.A. Mitchell. The map is not matted, mounted or framed, being sold as a single sheet as shown in the main pic. Overall, a very nice example with a vignette of the Harbor of Rio de Janeiro and plans of Rio and Recife, Pernambuco. Size: The map image measures approximately 12 by 16 inches on a 14 by 18" page and a margin all around for framing. Condition: The map is in Fair to Good condition with overall tonal aging and original hand color as issued. It is basically as seen in the pic. There is some staining in the area of Buenos Aires and in the Rio vignette and some paper loss on the bottom right corner that has been filled in on reverse, otherwise the map has strong beautiful color on a bright page, see the pics for more on condition. The pics are of the actual map being sold. Payment Details: We accept most major credit cards through Paypal and Ebay. Please ask if you have any questions about payment.
