Colton's Map of Minnesota.

Unbound, colored engraved map, 16 " x 13". Slight toning, darkening and aging, upper margin with some staining, goes into image slightly; still generally bright 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 Minnesota is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. This is one of the more attractive maps of Minnesota, with nice detail and bright coloring. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326.
