About This Item
Unbound, colored engraved map, 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 Northern Michigan is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date on the map indicates 1855. The mapis unusual in that Lake Superior is emphasized, and only the northern portion of the state is shown. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326.
