Colton's Map of Delaware and Maryland

Unbound, colored engraved map, 16" x 13". Slight toning and aging, a little dartkening in margins; overall bright and clean and in very good condition. Maps are wrapped with acid free board, or in rigid sleeves. Beginning with J. H. Colton (1800-1893), the Colton family published atlases for over 30 years. Colton's Atlas of the World was first published in 1855 in a large two volume set. In 1857 it became Colton's General Atlas, and Colton's sons, George Woolworth and Charles B. would take over the business. This is an attractive map of Delaware and Maryland from the rather scarce 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. J.H. Colton is named as the publisher on the map. The map is colorful, and with a crisp impression, and provides good detail. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326.
