Colton's Map of Hindostan or British India.

Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, one corner creased in the margin; 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 Hindostan (India) is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date on the map is 1855. The map is colorful and presents an interesting 19th century view of India, and includes a small inset map of British India. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326.
