Description
The maps are chromolithographs and offer a fascinating view of the Civil War battlegrounds.
Vorzet made these 30 maps to accompany Louis Phillipe d'Orleans' (Comte de Paris) multi-volume "Histoire de la Guerre Civile en Amérique". The set includes all three original fascicle covers (this was issued in parts and often bound later).The author, Prince Philippe, served as a diplomatic "aide de camp" to General George McClellan from September 1861 to July 1862. He served with distinction during the Peninsular Campaign with the Army of the Potomac. D'Orleans was the pretender to the French throne and the grandson of the last king of France.Â
The first fascicle was from 1874. The fascicles were issued to accompany volumes. 1-2, 3-4. and 5-6, respectively, of the "Histoire." The Comte de Paris was a pretender to the throne of France and an expatriate who worked as an aide-de-camp to the Union Gen. George MacClellan (McClellan). He eventually settled in England.
The publication date is the latest date of the map in this series.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
