Description: It is an authentic engraved antique Civil War era map with original handcoloring and the desirable decorative border. It is from an 1860 First edition of Johnson's Family Atlas (New York: Johnson & Ward, 1860), blank on reverse with the metallic border. 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 large elephant folio size double page map with a centerfold as issued. Overall, a very nice example.
Size: The map image measures approximately 15 by 23 1/2 inches on a 18 by 26 1/2" page and a margin all around for framing.
Condition: The map is in Very Good condition with light tonal aging and original hand color with a centerfold as issued. It is basically as seen in the pic. There are a couple of light damp stains around the margin, otherwise it is very clean with nice strong color that would frame up well, see the pics for more on condition. The pics are of the actual map being sold.
