Title:

Colton's Atlas of the World 2 Volumes 1859

George W. Colton

Publisher:

J H Colton and Company. New York

Condition:

Spines are worn. Covers show age wear as expected from 163 years of use. Except for as noted for volume 1 all pages are present. i.e. one missing and one duplicate. The maps show little signs of use.

Volume 1.

Front Cover detached. Rear cover hinge very delicate but just holding. The ffep, blank, and vignette are detached but present. The 1st blank has name and date (1908) in an old hand. Vignette is the same as Colton's American Atlas. Plate 5 is missing (Lower Canada and New Brunswick). Plate 6 (Upper Canada) appears twice, once with the plate number and once without. This is as it was bound as there is no evidence of any replacement. There is noticeable "Browning" to some of the pages. This seems to stem from the paper's manufacture or processing rather than the environment as "browned" pages are next to much whiter pages. There is very little foxing. There are some age marks present. There are one or two small marginal tears not affecting images.
