This is one of the rarest, largest and most magnificent maps of the Southern States of the USA, captured by J.T. Lloyd out of New York in 1861 - the outbreak of the Civil War.
This map was originally published on newspaper - the cheapest and most fragile type of paper. That it has survived 150 years makes this map extremely rare - and the newspaper adds a wonderfully unusual texture to this map.
Because this is a railroad map, it primarily shows railroads - but there's a lot more going on here, including forts, barracks, court houses, cannon batteries, the distance in miles between towns... it's a wonderful detailed map.
In an added bonus, because this was published in a newspaper, there's all sorts of other bits of info printed on the map. Take a look at some of the close-up images and enjoy a slice of 1861 history.
This map would make a great birthday or Christmas gift for someone from the Confederate states, or perhaps just a historian who's into the Civil War.
This map will be completely sharp at all sizes, though I would recommend going for a larger size if possible so that you can really enjoy the level of detail. I can print it at sizes up to 100 inches (250cm).
You can order the map itself, or you can order a framed version. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that really makes our maps pop out when on a wall. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame, or if you'd like to frame one of the larger maps. We use super-clear acrylic (perspex/acrylite) in our frames - it's less reflective than glass and better for transport.
