Colton's Map of Mississippi.

Unbound, colored engraved map, 16"x 13". Slight toning and aging, some darkening and minor soiling 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 map of Mississippi is from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date states 1855. An attractive and colorful map, which gives excellent detail on Mississippi counties. Extra postage may be required. Ristow 313-326. # 103210.
