1857. · New York
by Colton, J.H.
Unbound, lightly colored engraved map, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, some residual staining and finger soiling in margins; overall fairly 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 Pittsburg, Allegheny and Cincinnati is probably from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date on the map indicates 1855.. The map is fairly colorful, and provides good street detail. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326 (Inventory #: 101184)
