Based on depictions of the region from the decade prior, this map was published in 1865 at the close of the American Civil War and produced by prominent American cartographer and publisher J. Colton employed a more costly steel engraving method that was then colored by hand, and his maps were known for their premium quality, extensive detailing, and distinctive aesthetic. This map also features the signature border that Colton maps were known for. The decision to depict the city of Charleston and also Fort Sumter, given the period, is unique given the former’s role at the start of the Civil War. Charleston’s history is deep, and the city had been experiencing great prosperity during the antebellum due to its bustling ports. Charleston was a key fortification point for the Confederacy, and it did not fall to Union Forces until the very last months of the Civil War. This handsome depiction of the state shows it in a time of great transition, and these maps were often produced for markets in Western Europe. Europeans had become fascinated with the results of the American Civil War. They were eager to display locations that had historical significance, and South Carolina was easily one of the most symbolic. This is truly an authentic piece of cartographical history, and the extensive details in Colton’s publication allow historians to gain greater insight into the daily lives of prominent South Carolinians and how their lives had been altered in the period stretching from antebellum to reconstruction.
