Sobre este artículo
Bremen, Germany: A. D. Geisler, 1862. Original lithographed folding map. The image is 13 1/4 inches by 19 1/2 inches on a sheet that measures 18 inches by 22 1/4 inches. This map is similar to (perhaps inspired by) Panorama of the seat of war : bird's eye view of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia published by John Bachmann in Baltimore in 1861. Both are semi-topographical birds-eye views of the region, but there are differences, not the least of which is that only this Geisler map is oriented with North being at the bottom of the map. My best guess is that Geisler produced the map for sale to people in Germany who had a keen interest in the American Civil War. The map does not show troop movements or anything else military; it appears to be intended to give the Germans a picture of the territory where the war was taking place. This map is quite scarce, with copies located only in the Library of Congress and the Maryland State Archives. Only one other dealer has a copy for sale at this time. The map is in about very good condition. There are a few closed tears along some fold lines that have been stabilized professionally with a barely discernible ricing on the verso. Some faint staining is noticeable primarily in the upper corner margins.. First Edition. Single Sheet. Very Good. Illus. by A. D. Geisler. 13 1/4 inches by 19 1/2 Inches. Map.
