Colton's Map of Scotland.

Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, some darkening and 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 Scotland is from the 1857 edition Colton's Atlas of the World. The map is very colorful and crisp, and includes small inset maps of Shetland Isles and Orkney Isles. Ristow 313-326.
