Henry Huggins Lloyd (1828-68) was a New York City-based publisher and mapmaker, operating before, during, and after the Civil War. Their extensive output included posters such as these, as well as military campaign charts, patriotic portraits of military leaders, regional and state maps, etc.

Only two similar examples found at Harvard University and in the David Rumsey Map Collection at Stanford University (the latter depicting fewer military leaders).
