Description:
Unbound, colored engraved map, 16" x 13". Some toning and aging, and a little foxing, ample margins; overall 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 map of the Pacific islands from from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date on the map indicates 1855. This is a very attractive hemispheric map with good coloring from the 1857 installment of the Colton Atlas. Ristow 313-326.
