About the Item

Title: Rare 1864 Civil War Era Map of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana Description: This captivating antique map, titled "Johnson's Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana," was published in 1864 by Johnson and Ward, a distinguished American mapmaking firm renowned for their detailed and visually appealing atlases during the mid-19th century. The map meticulously illustrates the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana, detailing counties, towns, railroads, and geographical features of the era. Each county is outlined in a vivid pink, with a subtle green wash filling the background, creating a harmonious contrast that highlights the region’s topography. A decorative border frames the map, adding to its antique charm, while the map includes notable geographical markers like the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico coastline. The map was produced using the steel engraving technique, prized for its precision and ability to render fine lines and intricate details, as seen in the crisp text and delicate linework. What makes this map particularly compelling is its historical context—created during the Civil War, it captures these Southern states at a critical juncture, reflecting their strategic importance with detailed depictions of infrastructure such as railroads and waterways. The map provides a window into the region’s role in the Confederacy, offering insights into its economic and military landscape. 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 Civil War 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 beige could also work, adding a touch of warmth while keeping the focus on the map’s 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. A classic wooden frame with a gold accent enhances the map’s vintage charm. Avoid tight pressing to reduce stress on the folds.
