Richmond, VA: Hoyer & Ludwig, [1864]
[1,000/1,500]
A Confederate depiction of General McClellan’s Peninsula Campaign of 1862, in which he
failed to capture Richmond. It was published in 1864, as suggested by an 18 July 1864
Richmond Daily Dispatch note unearthed by Boston Rare Maps: “Mr. Charles Ludwig, of
this city, has recently published and secured the copyright for a map showing the battle grounds
of the Chickahominy, and the positions of the subsequent engagements in the movements of the
Federal army towards James River and all the other points of interest in connection with the
siege of Richmond. It seems to be well and accurately executed, and at this juncture cannot fall
to be interesting to the public.” Parrish & Willingham 6201; no other copies known at auction.

Boston: L. Prang, 1862
[400/600]
A large-scale map of the theater of war in eastern
Virginia, including rail lines and topographical fea-
tures. The caption describes it as “a map to mark
the change of positions of the Union forces in red
pencil and the rebel forces in blue, on the receipt of
every telegram from the seat of war.” The present
example has been used as intended, with blue and
red markings denoting the December 1862 Battle
of Fredericksburg, as well as scattered other mark-
ings showing the defenses at Washington,
Richmond, and elsewhere.
