About this Item

This color map of the southern states during the civil war originally appeared in Harper's magazine and was later issued in their 2 volume History of the Civil War. This map was included in the 1894 reprint of "Harper's History of the Civil War" (which was originally published in 1866). It is a large single sheet and is folded four times, as issued. Star Publishing republished the 2 volume set in a series of weekly issues, and the subscriber then had the option of binding the weekly issues into two large volumes. This sheet measures 22.5" x 32.5" and was probably contained in one of the earlier issues of the series as the verso of the map has pages from the history included (pp. 125, 128, 129, 132) There is some marginal wear to the edges of the map which does not intrude into the image (except very slightly into the edge decoration at one tear and a small tear at the center of the folds from refolding). At the bottom of the map: "Prepared for Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War, December 1863." (The map was originally issued in b&w in Harper's Weekly in 1861, and then issued by Harper's in a colored edition two years later.) The map has black decorative borders with round portraits of Abraham Lincoln, William H. Seward, George B. McClellan, and Winfield Scott at the corners. There is also an inset of the tip the Florida peninsula. ; Color Map; Single Sheet pages.
