Colton's Map of Minnesota
1866 · New York
by Colton, G.W. & C.B
New York: G.W. & C.B. Colton & Co., 1866. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, a couple of chips in the left hand margin, not affecting anything; overall very 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 Minnesota is from the 1866 edition of Colton's General Atlas. This is one of the more attractive maps of Minnesota, with nice detail and bright coloring. May require extra postage. Ristow 313-326 (Inventory #: 101122)
