One complete, uncut, ORIGINAL Civil War Atlas picture sheet...18" by 29"...from the 1890s U.S. Government limited issue ATLAS TO ACCOMPANY THE OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE UNION AND CONFEDERATE ARMIES. Plate number CXXI in Excellent original condition, contains nine Civil War pictures from photographs in sepia-tone; CHARLESTON HARBOR IN APRIL OF 1861; A VARIETY OF VIEWS AND PERSPECTIVES FROM FORTS SUMTER AND MOULTRIE!. THE OFFICIAL ATLAS, as it is called, represents the culmination of decades of research after The War, and was contributed to by the military leaders of The War, civil engineers and cartographers, and was intended to be THE companion to The OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE CIVIL WAR. The complete ATLASES were not available to the public, rather they were sent in a series of five sheets at a time, 178 sheets in total, to the three branches of government and to federal and state agencies and libraries. When THE OFFICIAL ATLAS was printed, over a century ago, each large map sheet was folded once, neatly, left side over right and this beautiful example has been preserved perfectly, and has retained its original sharp, bold, crisp character. T he plate has a complete one inch border all the way around. Please note, and this is important. This is an ENTIRE Atlas map sheet. It is NOT part of a plate nor is it a cut piece, but it is a whole plate, as it was lithographed over a century ago. I will never cut pieces from these rare antique map sheets and sell the smaller slips of paper separately. Besides the obvious beauty and historic charm of these pieces, a very large part of their long term investment value is in their entirety. $7.00 will cover your insured Priority mailing. Sheet will be rolled carefully, packed extremely well into a rigid tube, and sent to you in a Priority mailer. This is one exceptional piece and is investment grade in every respect. The timing is perfect for the 150th commemoration of events at Charleston. It could make an outstanding gift for a Civil War enthusiast. It will make a startlingly beautiful wall presentation; maybe in your own home!
