Colton's Map of Missouri
1857 · New York
by Colton, J.H
New York: J.H. Colton & Co., 1857. Unbound, colored engraved map, 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 is a relatively scarce map of Missouri (truncated)
