Above the main map is the title and three illustrations: “The Star Spangled Banner” flying in the foreground above a harbor apparently representing Fort McHenry; “The Outrage on the American Flag at Fort Sumter,” showing billowing smoke pouring out of the fort following the Confederate attack; and a sailor holding the pole of a large flag beside a cannon labeled “Peace Maker” with the caption, “‘If any one attempts to haul down the AMERICAN FLAG shoot him on the spot.’ \u2013 Gen. John A. Dix.” In the lower right corner of the main map is a crowd saluting a flag titled “Constitution & Laws.” Below the main map, the Washington map is flanked by allegorical female figures. “Justice Disarmed” holds pieces of a broken balance scale; “Liberty Weeping” has lowered her flag and shield and cast her eyes downward.<\/p>\n
Timothy and Edward Ensign were partners in a New York City printing firm, active in a series of partnerships between 1841 and 1861, working with Phelps and Humphrey, as Ensigns & Thayer (with Horace Thayer), and finally, as Ensign, Bridgman & Fanning. Over their career they produced a number of notable prints on subjects from American history as well as maps and U.S. traveler\u2019s guides.<\/p>\n

The main map includes all of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia, most of Pennsylvania, most of present day Virginia and West Virginia (combined as “Virginia”), and portions of surrounding states. In addition to county lines, the map shows towns, rivers, and railroads. Mountain ranges are shaded. The counties are colored in pale shades of blue, pink and yellow; illustrations are accented in shades of red, yellow and blue. State lines are highlighted with bold red outlines, and Lynchburg and Richmond, Virginia, are underlined in red.
