[CIVIL WAR-MAPS] The New York Herald War Maps and Diagrams.
New York: Edward Lloyd, n.d., circa 1861. An unusual compilation of lithographed maps within a black border, appears to be four sheets joined, the map likely issued on rollers originally (not present). The map with about 29 maps with coloring in blue and pink and various text description. Overall 35 1/2 x 45 inches (90 x 114 cm). Mounted to linen, worn with small losses and stains, sold as-is.
This is an unusual composite map in a wall size that appears to correspond with a special issue of the newspaper dated 11 September 1861 titled "New York Herald/War Maps and Diagrams" which comprised 35 maps on 8 broadsheets. The maps provide a very good overview of the various theaters of the war, even at the outset of the conflict. We not trace another copy prepared as such and note a copy of the newspaper issue pictured on the Curiosity Collections webpage of the Harvard Library, see: https://curiosity.lib.harvard.edu/scanned-maps/catalog/44-990101525720203941
