Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative boarder, 16" x 17". Some toning, darkening and aging, and a little foxing; overall 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 Eastern or Lower Canada is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. This map is attractive and very colorful, and gives really good geographic detail. You can see part of Nova Scotia and part of Maine, and there is lots of detail along the St. Lawrence River. Contains a small inset showing Montreal. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326.
