Colton's Map of Russia.

Unbound, colored engraved map, 16" x 13". Some toning, aging, and a little browning in 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 map of Russia is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The map offers a fairly colorful and detailed view of Russia for this period. May require extra postage. Ristow 313-326.
