Austria-Hungary Ottoman Empire Greece Rumelia 1864 Johnson & Ward civil war map

Johnson's Austria, Turkey in Europe, and Greece.

(Europe, Austria-Hungary, Hapsburg Empire, Bohemia, Silesia, Croatia, Dalmatia, Ottoman Empire, Kingdom of Greece, Crete, Rumelia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Constantinople ).

Issued 1864, New York by Johnson & Ward.

Large civil war era mid 19th century lithographed map with original hand color. Decorative vignette depicts a prospect view of the Constantinople skyline, set above an inset of Candia island.

A decorative scrolled border adds to the visual appeal of the map. These borders changed over time and help to identify different states and issues of Johnson maps, which makes them an interesting area to collect.

Nice looking example, pleasing age patina, light soiling and small scattered spotting, any minor age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. Short closed split at centerfold base.

Original center fold as issued.

Sheet Measures c. 18" H x 26 1/2" W.
