About the Item

Title: Historic 1864 Civil War Map of Georgia and Alabama with Coastal Focus Description: This intricately detailed antique map, titled "Johnson's Georgia and Alabama," 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 meticulously illustrates the states of Georgia and Alabama, showcasing counties, towns, railroads, and geographical features of the period. Each county is 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, adding to its antique charm, while the map prominently features the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean coastlines, with fine engravings of Mobile Bay and Savannah’s barrier islands. 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 Georgia and Alabama at a critical time, reflecting their roles as key Confederate states with strategic cities like Atlanta, Savannah, and Mobile, all vital to the war effort. The map also highlights major waterways like the Alabama River and Chattahoochee River, emphasizing the region’s importance for trade and transportation. Collectors and historians will treasure this map for its ability to transport viewers to a pivotal moment in American history, blending functional cartography with artistic elegance, making it an exceptional piece for any collection of antique maps or Southern memorabilia. 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 vivid, 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 classic wooden frame with a gold accent enhances the map’s vintage charm. Avoid tight pressing to reduce stress on the folds. Matting Board Color Recommendation The map features a color palette consistent with the previous maps in the series, with pink county outlines, green background shading, and black engravings on a cream-colored paper. The decorative border adds an ornate touch, and the overall aesthetic is delicate and antique. 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, as they could overpower the map’s delicate tones and detract from its antique appeal. Ensure the matting board is acid-free to protect the map from long-term damage. A double mat with a slightly darker shade (like a light beige) for the inner layer can add depth while keeping the presentation refined.
