Title
Johnson’s Delaware and Maryland.
Description
English: A fine map of Maryland and Delaware dating to 1863. Features an inset of the Washington D.C. and the general vicinity. Along the top of the map, in what would be Pennsylvania there are three engraved images of important government buildings: The General Post Office, The Treasury Buildings, and the Patent Office At the bottom of the map, in the center, a text block describes the work of Mason & Dixon in drawing the Pennsylvania / Maryland border along the 38th latitude. The whole is surrounded by an attractive strap-work border. Cartographically this map is based upon the earlier work of J. H. Colton. Page no. 38 in the 1863 edition of Johnson’s Family Atlas.
