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 Arkansas is very detailed. Counties, cities, railroads, common roads, streets, canals, rivers and topographical features are illustrated. Muted pastel coloring in pink, blue, green, and yellow.This map measures 13 inches by 15 inches. N° de ref. del artículo 38509

For over 60 years the Colton family was the premier publisher of maps in the United States. J.H. Colton, the company founder, issued his first 'General Atlas' in 1855 and continued publishing this atlas until 1888. These are the first maps we have ever offered from his 1861 'General Atlas'. We believe these 1861 maps are some of his most difficult to find. Every collection should have at least one map by J.H. Colton. This map measures 17 by 14.5 inches. Nº de ref. del artículo: 61244

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. We have been in the antique map business for over forty years and these are the true first edition maps (1855) we have ever offered. Don't wait too long to purchase this piece of American mapping history! This map measures 16 by 13 inches. Nº de ref. del artículo: 120254
