Colton's Map of Baltimore.

Unbound, colored engraved map, straight-line boarder, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, some darkening 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 Baltimore is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date on the map is 1855. The map is colorful with a fair amount of detail on Baltimore streets. May require extra postage. Ristow 313-326
