Pocket map. Engraving with original hand coloring. Image measures 25" x 18.5". New York: G.W. & C.B. Colton & Co., 1870. This is a rare 1887 pocket map of Connecticut issues by Colton. Shows all of Connecticut with part of Massachusetts to the north, part of Rhode Island to the east, part of Long Island and the Long Island Sound to the south, and part of New York to the west. The state is outlined in a think bright pink line, with counties outlined in thinner pink lines. Shows roads, rail lines, major routes, townships, and topographical details. Beautiful dark impression with vibrant original hand color. The map is attached to the original cloth binder. Some minor wear and toning along fold lines with minor repairs on verso. Otherwise in excellent condition. The Colton family was one the most prolific and successful publishers of maps and atlases in the United States. Joseph Hutchins Colton (1800-1893) founded his business in NYC in 1831.
