Item description from seller

Second issue of this extremely rare bird's-eye view of southern Maryland, Washington and most of Virginia from the north. This is not to be confused with the more common redrafting of this view from the east which Bachmann produced as part of his seven section series, "Panorama of the Seat of War." Some soiling in right margin, one short tear in margin, archival reinforcement on back at right. Blind stamp from the publisher, A. Rumpf, in the bottom margin. Uncolored, with excellent topographic detail. This issue has 3 line tables of distances at the lower corners. This issue differs from an earlier printing by the addition of six place names (Baltimore, B&O Railroad, James River, Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay, Arlington Heights) and the correction of two misspellings (Annapolis Junction and Beltsville). Both issues were published in 1861, clearly around the time hostilities started, but do not show the locations of battles as the later panoramic series does.
