Map published in "Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies" (1891-1895). U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1895. Sheet 29"18". This color… lithograph map was published in 1895 at the Government Printing Office in Washington D.C. Published under the direction of the Hons. Redfield Proctor, Stephen B. Elkins and Daniel S. Lamont, secretaries of war, by Maj. George B. Davis, U.S. Army, Mr. Leslie J. Perry, civilian expert, Mr. Joseph W. Kirkley, civilian expert, Board of Publication. Compiled by Capt. Calvin D. Cowles, 23d U.S. Infantry. This is an absolutely stand-out achievement in cartography and an essential element of the massive war records of the Civil War. The maps published in this atlas were tremendously detailed (depending of the scale). In general the maps locate topographic and geographical factors, plus railroads, forts, encampments, and in some cases when the scale allows, it is detailed to individual houses. It of course shows troop movements, battle positions, and lines of battle and its progress. The work done for the atlas is superb. Nothing is printed on the back of the map—the verso is clean and blank. Near-FINE condition, with two very short tears at the bottom-center (about 1" each, repaired on the verso with Japanese tissue adhesive). "This is the most detailed atlas yet published on the Civil War. It consists of reproductions of maps compiled by both Union and Confederate soldiers."--"Civil War Maps" by Richard Stephenson. 2nd edition. Scale: 10 miles to the inch.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Minor soiling to bottom corners. Contemporaneous backing on paper. Minor partial centerfold split, fully stabilized on verso. Size 20.5 x 23.25 Inches. A beautiful example of Johann Baptist Homann's 1710 map of Sicily and Sardinia, Italy. The map illustrates the islands as they were vigorously contended for by the Spa…nish Hapsburgs and the French Bourbons during the War of Spanish Succession (1701 - 1714). A Closer Look Coverage extends from Sardinia to Calabria and the Gulf of Taranto, south to include all of Sicily, Malta, Gozo, and parts of northern Africa in the vicinity of Tunis. Sicily is divided according to its ancient provinces: Val di Mazara, Val di Noto, and Val Demone. A large inset in the lower left illustrates Catania, with Mout Etna erupting in the background - likely referencing the devastating eruption and earthquake of 1693, which destroyed the city and the surrounding Val di Noto. In the lower right, an inset of Valletta, Malta, reflects its role as the stronghold of the Knights Hospitaller, whose naval defenses provided the first line of defense against Ottoman expansion. The allegorical cartouche at the top center underscores the fertile island's role as a breadbasket of the Mediterranean. Supporting figures hold aloft bunches of great and a cycle - symbols of harvest and plenty. Below, cherubs support the arms of Sicily and Sardinia. Above and to the right of the cartouch, Hephaestus, god of fire, metalworking, and craftsmanship, works his forge, which mythology associates with Mt. Etna. Sicily, Sardinia, and the War of the Spanish Succession During the War of Spanish Succession (1701 - 1714), Sicily and Sardinia played pivotal roles as strategically significant Mediterranean islands vigorously contested by European powers. Initially, under Spanish Habsburg control, these islands became bargaining chips in the broader conflict over the Spanish throne following the death of Charles II of Spain in 1700. The war saw alliances shift as the Bourbon claimant, Philip V of Spain, fought against a coalition of European powers seeking to prevent Bourbon dominance. By the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, which ended much of the war, Sicily was awarded to Victor Amadeus II of Savoy, marking the Savoyard dynasty's rise as a European power. Sardinia, however, remained with Spain until 1720, when it was ceded to the Austrian Habsburgs in exchange for Sicily as part of the Treaty of The Hague. This exchange established the Kingdom of Sardinia under Savoyard control, with Sardinia remaining a key element of Italian unification in the 19th century. The war reshaped the political landscape of the Mediterranean, reducing Spanish influence and distributing territorial control among emerging European powers. Publication History and Census This is the first plate of this map - engraved between 1707 and 1710 for inclusion in the 1710 edition of the Neuer Atlas . It has a notably richer impression and finer engraving than the subsequent c. 1715 plate, recognizable by less expressive engraving and the inclusion of Homann's Privilege. The present example is from a 1710 edition of the Neuer Atlas . In its many editions, the map is well-represented in institutional collections, and versions of the map occasionally appear on the market. However, there is no complete census of individual states and plates, so the dating of these pieces is difficult to determine without examination of the maps themselves. References: OCLC 694920584.
