About the Item
Title: Johnson's Ohio Antique Map by Johnson and Ward, 1864
Description: This exquisite antique map, titled "Johnson's Ohio," was published in 1864 by Johnson and Ward, a prominent American mapmaking firm known for their detailed and beautifully crafted atlases during the mid-19th century.
The map showcases the state of Ohio with intricate detail, highlighting counties, towns, railroads, and geographical features of the time. Each county is outlined in a striking pink hue, with a delicate green wash filling the background, creating a visually appealing contrast. A decorative border frames the map, adding to its aesthetic charm, while an inset illustration of the State Capitol at Columbus provides a historical glimpse into Ohio's architectural past.
The map was created using the steel engraving technique, a method favored for its precision and ability to produce fine lines and detailed illustrations, which is evident in the crisp text and ornate design elements. What makes this map particularly interesting is its historical context—produced during the Civil War, it reflects Ohio's role as a key state in the Union, with its burgeoning infrastructure and political significance. Collectors and historians alike will appreciate the map's ability to transport viewers back to a pivotal moment in American history, offering insights into the state's development and the cartographic artistry of the era. The map's combination of functional geography and decorative elements makes it a standout piece for any collection of antique maps or Americana.
Condition Report: The map is in good condition for its age, with light toning and minor foxing along the edges. There are a few small tears at the fold lines, but no significant losses and one small piece of tape at the bottom. The colors remain vibrant, and the paper is intact with slight wear.
Framing Tips: Use an acid-free mat to prevent discoloration, and opt for UV-protective glass to shield from light damage. A simple wooden frame with a gold finish complements the map's vintage aesthetic. Ensure the map is not pressed tightly to avoid stress on the folds.
