About the Item

Title: Rare 1864 Civil War Era Map of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Southern New England Description: This finely detailed antique map, titled "Johnson's Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut," was published in 1864 by Johnson and Ward, a renowned American mapmaking firm celebrated for their precise and visually appealing atlases during the mid-19th century. The map encompasses the New England states of Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, meticulously illustrating counties, towns, railroads, and geographical features of the time. Counties are outlined in a vibrant pink, with a soft green wash filling the background, creating a striking contrast that highlights the region’s topography. A decorative border frames the map, enhancing its antique allure, while the map includes an "Explanation" key in the top right corner, detailing symbols for county towns, railroads, and other features. The map was produced using the steel engraving technique, known for its precision and ability to render fine lines and intricate details, as evident in the crisp text and delicate linework. What makes this map particularly compelling is its historical context—created during the Civil War, it captures New England at a critical time, reflecting its role as a Union stronghold with a dense network of railroads and industrial centers. The map also highlights coastal areas like Cape Cod and inland features like the Green Mountains, offering a comprehensive view of the region’s geography. Collectors and historians will treasure this map for its ability to transport viewers to a transformative period in American history, blending functional cartography with artistic elegance, making it an exceptional piece for any collection of antique maps or New England artifacts. Condition Report: The map is in good condition for its age, with light toning and minor foxing along the edges. Small tears are present at the fold lines, but there are no significant losses. The colors remain bright, and the paper is intact with slight wear. Framing Tips: Use an acid-free mat to prevent discoloration and UV-protective glass to shield from light damage. A soft ivory or off-white matting board is recommended, as it complements the aged cream tone of the map’s paper, creating a cohesive and elegant look. This neutral color allows the pink and green hues to stand out without distraction, maintaining a classic, museum-quality presentation that appeals to collectors. It also enhances the map’s historical charm by blending seamlessly with its vintage appearance. For a subtle contrast, a pale sage green could also work, picking up on the green shading in the map while keeping the focus on its details. Avoid bold or dark colors like red or navy. A classic wooden frame with a gold accent enhances the map’s vintage charm. Avoid tight pressing to reduce stress on the folds.
