Colton's Map of North America.

Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16" x 13". Slight toning and aging, some slight darkening or finger soiling in margins; 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 North America is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The map is very colorful, and one of the more attractive maps of North America. Nice representation of the United States. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326.
