Unbound, colored engraved map, 16" x 13". Some browning and aging, and a little finger soiling and some creasing in margins, small margin tear in margin, repaired with archival tape; overall 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 Holland and Belgium is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date on the map is 1855. The map is colorful with a fair amount of detail, and includes small inserts featuring Amsterdam and Brussels. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326. (Inventory #: 106123)
