Civil War Map & Capitol View – Virginia to Manassas, c.1861, Framed
Striking Civil War-era lithograph combining a detailed map of Northern Virginia with an elevated view of the U.S. Capitol under construction. The lower panel features a Topographical Map of Virginia between Washington and Manassas Junction, highlighting key Civil War sites such as Arlington Heights, Fairfax, and Manassas (notably marking the First Battle of Bull Run, July 21st, 1861). Above, a hand-colored engraving depicts the Capitol building and surrounding Washington, D.C., skyline with the dome partially completed—dating the piece to around 1861–1862. Railroads, rivers, and encampments are carefully illustrated, providing historical insight into Union strategy and movement.
A compelling piece for collectors of Americana, Civil War memorabilia, or antique cartography.
