Colton's Map of Brazil and Guayana

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 is an attractive map of Brazil 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 includes a small inset map of Rio De Janeiro. Ristow 313-326
