Authentic Set Of 3 Civil War Prints Feat. Washington DC. Dated 1863-1865 For Sale

   This set of 3 authentic Civil War period items feature the Union capital of Washington DC. The first print is a beautiful scene of Washington dated 1862 and is drawn by artist J. Wells. The steel plate engraving was done by W. Ridgeway and published by Virtue and Co, NY. The page measures 11" x 8 1/2". The detail of this city scape is absolutely amazing. The condition, especially for it being 160+ years of age, is incredibly good. There is some yellowing due to its age and there are some light foxing spots in the margins. Otherwise the corners on the right side show some wear and there is a tiny 1 and a half millimeter tear at the bottom margin (please see pics for further detail). It also comes with the original although detached tissue cover. The second two items are maps. The first measures  approximately 9" x 6" shows Washington and the surrounding area including famous battle sites such as Manassas, Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, Harpers Ferry and Spotsylvania. The last map measures 7 1/4 x 7 1/2. The maker of this map is H.H. Lloyd and Co, NY. It is hand colored and in my opinion out of the hundreds of prints/ maps from this era that I have come across H.H. Lloyd made maps are on a level above the rest. It shows the city and it's defenses in the immediate surrounding area including Forts Jackson, Runyon, Bennet and Lincoln. It is extremely well detailed and honestly it's hard for me to part with any of my H.H. Lloyd maps so I am sure if you are a collector like myself you will love and appreciate having this in your collection. It is in impeccable condition with a crease down the middle from it being originally a gold out map.
