With the 19th century innovations of publishing and technology, the world became a smaller place and one which anyone could become acquainted with. As these changes blossomed, the fledgling company of Rand McNally realized the interest in small accessible material, and produced a pocket atlas. These maps carry handy reference information, and were up to date for the period. They include cities, some towns as well as some roads. They have their own charm and would be great for framing, and decorative use. This map measures 5 inches by 3 inches.

First Edition
Art Source International is proud to offer this map from the 1859 edition of Coltons General Atlas. Colton atlases, especially those from the late 1850's, have become increasingly rare. The General Atlas was the first single edition atlas published by the Colton brothers succeeding the expensive two volume Atlas of the World. These maps have the signature ' inch Colton border surrounding each map. The Colton firm refused to compromise quality, choosing to compete for sales in the finer quality international market rather than the cheap domestic one. Because of this, all maps were engraved by steel plates rather than by wax engraving which was the most common method used at this time. This map of Argentine Republic, Chili, Uruguay & Paraguay is very detailed with identification of provinces, cities, towns, transportation routes, rivers, and mountain ranges. Each map has beautiful muted red, green, tan, pink, and yellow hand coloring. This map measures 15 inches by 13 inches.

Joseph Hutchins Colton (1800-1893) started one of the premier map publishing firms in the U.S. His first printed map dated 1833, was a reprint of David Burrs map of the state of New York. The Colton firm was one of the primary publishers of guidebooks, immigrant maps, and railroad maps. In 1855 Colton issued his first atlas, "Colton's Atlas of the World." They refused to compromise quality, choosing to compete for sales in the finer quality international market rather than the inexpensive domestic one. Because of this, all maps were engraved by steel plates rather than by wax engraving which was the most common method used at this time. This map is very detailed with identification of provinces and or regions, cities, towns and villages, transportation routes including rail roads, common roads, and canals, rivers and lakes, battle fields, and mountain ranges. Each map has beautiful muted red, green, tan, pink, and yellow hand coloring. Art Source International is proud and excited to offer maps from this very rare atlas.
