Colton's Map of Pittsburg, and Allegheny, and Cincinnati.

Lightly colored engraved map, 13"x 16," decorative border. Slight toning and aging, a couple of minor chips and tears in the margins; otherwise very good. 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 1866 it became Colton's General Atlas, and Colton's sons, George Woolworth and Charles B. would take over the business. This map of Pittsburg, Allegheny and Cincinnati is from the 1866 edition of Colton's General Atlas, even though the copyright date on the map indicates 1855. The map is fairly colorful, and provides good street detail. May require extra postage. Ristow 313-326.
