Colton's Map of Washington and Oregon
1857 · New York
by Colton, J.H
Unbound, colored engraved map, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging; 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 Washington and Oregon is from the rather scarce 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. J.H. Colton is listed as the publisher on the map. While the map is not as detailed as other maps from this atlas, it is still a colorful and attractive pre Civil War map of the American West. May require extra shipping. Ristow 313-326.
