(23 7/8 x 19 in. sheet), on wove paper, minor dampstaining, minor separations on original folds, framed 28 x 24 1/8 in., not examined out of frame. With original boards (split, heavy staining). A map centered on the Confederate capital Richmond, Virginia, the target for the Army of the Potomac in late 1862. Surrounding the map are vignetted portraits of Generals Ambrose Burnside, who commanded the Army until January 1863, and General Joseph T. Hooker, who took over command on 26 January 1863. Also included are four Corps commanders: General Franz Sigel (XI Corps), General Samuel P. Heintzelman (III Corps), General Edwin Vose Sumner (II Corps), and General William Buel Franklin (VI Corps). This map was published in at least 12 editions throughout the war with the portraits later replaced with others, battle vignettes, or inset maps. The generals present here suggest a date of January 1863, the brief time they overlapped, with Burnside turning over command to Hooker and Franz Sigel resigning by February. See lot 537.
