About this Item
Description:
Art Source International is proud to offer this map of India, entitled Hindostan or British India, from the 1856 edition of Coltons Atlas of the World. Colton atlases, especially those from the 1850's, have become increasingly rare. The Colton maps were engraved by steel plates rather than by wax engraving, which was the most common method used at this time. These maps are very detailed in beautiful hand colored pastels, and feature Colton's signature 3/4 inch border. This map shows countries and/or regions, cities, towns and villages, transportation routes, common roads, canals, rivers and lakes, and other geographical features.The size of the map is 13 x 16.

Art Source International is proud to offer this map from the 1860 edition of Coltons General Atlas. Colton atlases, especially those from the late 1850's, have become increasingly rare. The General Atlas was the first single edition atlas published by the Colton brothers succeeding the expensive two volume Atlas of the World. These maps have the signature ' inch Colton border surrounding each map. The Colton firm refused to compromise quality, choosing to compete for sales in the finer quality international market rather than the cheap domestic one. Because of this, all maps were engraved by steel plates rather than by wax engraving which was the most common method used at this time. This map of Hindostan is very detailed with identification of counties, cities, townships, railroads, common roads, canals, creeks and rivers. In the inset, the map shows the continuation of British India. Each map has beautiful muted red, green, tan, pink, and yellow hand coloring. This map measures 13 by 15.5 inches.
