This bird's-eye view shows Fredericksburg, a Rappahannock River town roughly midway between Washington and Richmond, as it looked in 1862. Panoramic city views like this one, drawn in perspective from above, were popular in the mid-19th century and were often produced by lithographers such as E. Sachse & Co. The map was made during the Civil War, when the town sat on a key route between the two capitals. Within a year, Fredericksburg became the site of major fighting, so the view captures the town just before the war's violence reached its streets.
