Colton's Map of the Environs of Paris

Unbound, engraved map, ample margins, 16"x 13". Some toning, browning and aging; overall still pretty 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 Paris is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The map offers a very detailed view of Paris in the middle of the 19th century. Ristow 313-326. # 102333
