Colton's Map of Greece

New York: G.W. & C.B. Colton & Co., 1857. Unbound, colored engraved map, 16"x 13". Some toning and aging, minor stain in margin; 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 Greece is from the rather scarce 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The map has nice color, and a very good presentation of the Greek islands. May require extra postage. Ristow 313-326 (Inventory #: 101106)
