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 map of Germany is from the 1866 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The map is colorful with a fair amount of detail, and includes coverage of Bavaria, Frankfurt and Wurtemberg. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326.
