Colton's Map of the Environs of London.

Unbound, uncolored engraved map, 16 " x 13". Slight toning and aging, a little soiling or staining margins; overall 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 a relatively scarce map of London from the 1857 edition of Colton's Atlas. While the map is uncolored, it provides considerable detail on the city of London. Has a straight-line border. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326.
