About this Item
Description:
Art Source International is proud to offer this map from the 1857 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. 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 Europe is very detailed. It shows lakes and rivers, mountains, regions and or provinces, railroads, wagon trails, cities and towns, and many other details. Muted pastel hand coloring in pink, blue, green, and yellow.The size of the map is 14.5 x 11.75. Seller Inventory # 47036

For over 60 years the Colton family was the premier publisher of maps in the United States. J.H. Colton, the company founder, issued his first 'General Atlas' in 1855 and continued publishing this atlas until 1888. These are the first maps we have ever offered from his 1861 'General Atlas'. We believe these 1861 maps are some of his most difficult to find. Every collection should have at least one map by J.H. Colton. This map measures 17 by 14.5 inches. Seller Inventory # 61116
