Edward Mendenhall. This brightly colored map of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland was published by prominent Cincinnati lithographer, Edward Mendenhall, shortly after the Civil War. The map depicts all of the counties, cities, railroads and rivers of Virginia, Maryland and the young state of West Virginia. Parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware and North Carolina can also be seen on the map. Everything is set within a scalloped frame border. The vibrant hand coloring is what sets this particular example of this scarce map apart from all others. Circa late 1880's.
