Very Good
Topographical Map of Virginia between Washington and Manassas Junction. Chs Magnus 12 Frankford St. New York. Map size: 7.5” x 9”. Leaf size: 8” x 10”. Annotated along the left margin: “New Road to Mt Vernon in progress.” Annotated along the right margin: “Guide to Mount Vernon by the Road Maker. The reverse is blank. In nice shape, much better condition than usually found.
The top panel contains a detailed bird's-eye view of the Capitol Building with the city in the background. The beginning of the Washington Monument can be seen in the distance.
That the Capitol building is completed with the statue of freedom on top of its first dome suggests this lettersheet was produced sometime after December 3, 1863.
The bottom panel contains a detailed map of northern Virginia and Washington showing roads, railroads, towns and cities including Fairfax, Mt. Vernon, Fort Washington, Hunter's Mill, and Prospect Hill. The Bull Run (Manassas) Battlefield, to include Confederate positions, is shown on the map.
Magnus produced several maps and views during the Civil War and this small map has drawn on his prior work.
