About this Item
Description:
Art Source International is proud to offer this map from the 1881 edition of Colton's General Atlas. Colton atlases, especially those from the late 1860's, have become increasingly rare. These well maintained examples are the first for sale by our store in eight years. This map of Asia was made by G.W and C.B Colton & Co in 1881. 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 Asia is very detailed with identification of countries, important cities, rivers, lakes, mountain ranges, and the Great Wall. Each map has beautiful muted red, green, tan, pink, and yellow hand coloring used to distinguish regions. This map measures 13.5 inches by 15.5 inches. Seller Inventory # 46772

Seller: Nicholas D. Riccio Rare Books, ABAA, Florham Park, NJ, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Unbound, colored engraved map, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, a little foxing or staining, mostly in margins; 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 is an attractive map of Asia from the rather scarce 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. J.H. Colton is named as the publisher on the map. The map is colorful, and the geo-political divisions make it rather interesting. Ristow 313-326. Seller Inventory # 101139
