Colton's Map of Canada West or Upper Canada.

Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16" x 13". Slight toning and aging, and some margin darkening; overall generally 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 western Canada is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The map is attractive and fairly colorful, and gives really good geographic detail. Welland Canal and Niagara Falls is shown in a small inset. Some extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326.
