[Manuscript Atlas]
Author: Fortescue, Chichester, 1777-1826
Date Produced: 1774
Language: English
Dimensions: Cover: H 16.3 X W 11.1 cm, Pages: H 15.6 X W 10.3 cm
Physical Description: Small manuscript atlas with 19 colored maps, hand drawn and colored cartouches with a handwritten presentation: "M. A. Fortescue from her dear Grandmama Fortescue Glyde Farm 1821 Made by my dear Papa in the year 1794"<br /><br />This manuscript inscription indicates that this book was gifted to Martha Ann (Fortescue) Hamilton by her grandmother Mary (Nicholson) Fortescue in 1821 when Martha was 10-11 years old. The inscription was written by Mary not Martha. The most direct evidence for this is that the phrase "Made by my dear Papa in the year 1794" was corrected from the original "Made by <strong>her</strong> dear Papa in the year 1794." Martha's father was Chichester Fortescue, and if you look clearly at the faint penciled inscription on the front pastedown you can see the phrase "Maps[?] by Chichester Fortescue."<br /><br />Maps include cartouches with emphasis on the British flag which is prominently featured atop the world map. Highlights of the cartouches: Map of France: Skeleton waving a sword standing next to guillotine and underneath is a coffin. Prussia is represented by a soldier casually standing with his sword.

Historical Context: The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861 and ended on May 26, 1865. the main conflict leading to the war was the dispute over slavery and its expansion to the west. When Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860, he opposed the expansion which let to seven southern states to secede from the Union. More southern states joined the secession and became a confederacy electing Jefferson Davis as their president.; The compilation of maps and diagrams depicts the vastness of the conflict with forces on both sides spread out over much of the mid-Atlantic and Southern United States and parts of the Midwest.
