Peninsular Campaign Civil War Virginia Richmond James River 1868 Johnson map

Johnson's Map of the Vicinity of Richmond and Peninsular Campaign in Virginia. Compiled from the Official Maps of the War Department.

(North America, United States, Civil War, Virginia, Richmond, James and Charles River, Petersburg, Chesapeake Bay, Hampton Roads).

Issued c. 1862-8, New York by A.J. Johnson.

Well known mid-19th century lithographed Civil War southern confederacy region battle map, with original hand color. 

Note the small chip at lower left corner- small corner piece of the map is gone although this would be easily rendered of no visual significance by easy proper mounting for display. Railroad lines, roads and water sounding depths seen, plus basic terrain features

Still a clean and very nice looking example, pleasing age patina, edges toned, any minor age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.

Original center fold as issued.

Sheet Measures c. 18" H x 28" W.
