Colton's Map of the United States

New York: G.W. & C.B. Colton & Co., 1866. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 25"x 16". Slight toning and aging, a little darkening at fold; 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 map of the United States is from the 1866 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The map is colorful with lots of detail, and shows a sizeable piece of land labeled the Indian Territory in northern Texas. May require extra postage. Ristow 313-326
