Colton's Map of Pennsylvania

New York: Colton J.H., 1857. Unbound, colored engraved map, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging; 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 Pennsylvania is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. Unlike many Pennsylvania maps of this period, no other states are included. The map offers a fairly colorful, with good county level detail. Ristow 313-326
