New York: Colton J.H., 1855. Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, a few margin chips, but margins are wide; 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 Scotland is from the 1866 edition of Colton's Atlas of the World. The map is very colorful and crisp, and includes small inset maps of Shetland Isles and Orkney Isles.
