About This Item
Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, double page 16"x 13". Slight toning, darkening 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 Central America is probably from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date on the map indicates 1855. This page map is fairly colorful, and has a couple of small inset maps, including one of the Isthmus of Panama. Ristow 313-326.
