Colton's Map of Illinois

New York: G.W. & C.B. Colton & Co., 1866. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging; 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 Illinois is from the 1866 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The map is colorful with a fair amount of detail, and includes a small inset map of Chicago. May require extra shipping. Ristow 313-326 (Inventory #: 101107)
