Colton's Map of Europe.

Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16"x 13". Some darkening and aging, some staining margins; overall about 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 single page map of Europe is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The map is somewhat colorful, and has a decent amount of detail, despite the large area it covers. Ristow 313-326.
