Colton's Map of New Jersey.

  • New York: : G.W. & C.B. Colton & Co.,, 1869.
By Colton, G.W. & C.B
24mo folding case (5" 3 3/4"), black cloth with gilt title on top cover, colored folding map (13 1/2" x 16"). Some slight wear to folding case, a couple of very minor tears at folds; a very nice map in really good condition. 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 a very attractive folding map of New Jersey with bright and crisp coloring. Ristow 313-326.
