While most of the prints in Series XXII depict specific events in Lafayette's life, several maps relating to these events are included here as well. Examples include a map of Rhode Island showing the positions of the American and British armies at the siege of Newport on August 29, 1778; diagrams of the seating arrangements at the French Chambres des Deputes for the sessions of 1818-1819, 1821-1822, and 1831; and a map showing Lafayette's itinerary during his 1824-25 tour of America.
