  • New York: , 1866.
By Colton, G.W. & C.B.

Unbound, colored engraved map, 16 " x 13". Some toning and aging, margin chips and nicks, a little creasing; otherwise 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 is a fairly attractive map of an important portion of South America, including Argentina and Chili, from the rather scarce 1866 edition of Colton's General Atlas. 
Ristow 313-326.
