Map. Color lithograph. Sheet measures 18 1/2" x 29 1/2"
Collection of inset maps depicting the positions of both Union and Confederate armies during the Battle of Pea Ridge, the Battle at Shiloh, and more. The largest map on the page depict a portion of the Mississippi River where rebel armies built fortifications as well as how the Union attacked those forts. Beyond this historical information, the map is highly detailed in itself, with cities, capitals, railroads, canals, towns, villages, and forts labeled. The maps appeared as plate X in "The Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, 1861-1865." Chips to margins but does not affect image. Folded as issued. This map is a wonderful piece that boldly documents American history.
Julius Bien (1826-1909) was an American lithographic printer and cartographer based in New York City. During the course of the second half of the 19th century, he produced thousands of maps for both public and private publishers. Some of his most notable commissions were for the U.S. government, including many geological maps that redefined the cartographic visualization of geology. Bien's prolific output and contributions to the development of chromo-lithography make him one of the most significant map printers of his time. This is a great example of his fine work.
