[Civil War] A Rare, Large, and Unusually Bright Patriotic Civil War Poster

Military Portraits Map of the Seat of War, Uniforms, Arms, &c.
New York: Published by H.H. Lloyd & Co., 1861. Hand-colored engraved poster. Printed by Waters & Son, New York. Small portion of inpainting to copyright line in bottom left. Linen backed; wear along edges. 39 x 29 in. (991 x 737 mm).

Showing military uniforms and dress, 16 large portraits of prominent Union Army leaders (Winfield Scott, George McClellan, John C. Fremont, Benjamin F. Butler, et al.) and a map illustrating the regions of Maryland, Virginia, and the Chesapeake Bay.

Henry Huggins Lloyd (1828-68) was a New York City-based publisher and mapmaker, operating before, during, and after the Civil War. Their extensive output included posters such as these, as well as military campaign charts, patriotic portraits of military leaders, regional and state maps, etc.

Rare to auction, we cannot find a similar example in online records. OCLC locates only two similar examples, at Harvard University and in the David Rumsey Map Collection at Stanford University (the latter depicting fewer military leaders).

This lot is located in Philadelphia.
