Colton's Map of Ohio
1866 · New York
by Colton, G.W. & C.B
New York: Colton G.W. & C.B., 1866. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, a little creasing; 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 Ohio is probably from the 1866 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date on the map indicates 1855. The map has nice color with a fair amount of detail, and includes a small inset map of Cleveland. May require extra postage. Ristow 313-326 (Inventory #: 101150)
