Colton's Map of Massachusetts and Rhode Island
1857 · New York
by Colton, J.H
Unbound, colored engraved map, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, a little soiling in bottom 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 is a relatively scarce map of Massachusetts and Rhode Island from the 1857 edition of Colton's Atlas. Not surprisingly, the bulk of the map relates to Massachusetts, but it also has a sizeable inset map of Boston.. An attractive and colorful map with very good detail. May require extra postage. Ristow 313-326. (Inventory #: 101124)
