Description: It is an authentic Civil War era antique map approximately 145 years old. It is a steel plate engraving with original hand coloring as issued with the desirable floral border. It is from Mitchell's New General Atlas, published in Philadelphia by Augustus Mitchell, 1864. However, there is an earlier copyright date of 1860 along the bottom margin in small print that states "Entered according to an Act of Congress in the year 1860 by Augustus Mitchell in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington." A copy of the title page is also included for authenticity. The map is not mounted, matted nor framed being sold as a single sheet as seen in the first pic. Overall, a Beautiful Classic Antique Map with Superb Color!
Size: The map image measures approximately 11 1/2 by 14 inches on a 12 1/4 by 15 1/4" page with a margin all around as seen in the pic.
Condition: It is in Good to Very Good condition for its age, basically as seen in the pics, with overall tonal aging and slight darkening around the edges. There are a few minor smudges around the margin and light edgewear, otherwise the map image is very clean in general with bright color and a nice antique quality that is rare to fine in this condition. It is printed on heavy paper, blank on the reverse with original handcolor as issued. The pics are of the actual map and very accurate of condition and color in general, however the actual map looks much better.
