Unbound, colored engraved map, 16"x 13". Some aging and brownin, a little creasing in the lower marging; still 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 a relatively scarce map of Palestine from the 1866 edition of Colton's General Atlas. The heading suggests that J.H. Colton is the publisher, and the map was originally published in 1855. An attractive and colorful map, which gives excellent detail on The Holy Land, with a small inset map of Arabia Petrea. Ristow 313-326.
