Descripción
Descripción:
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 Boston is very detailed with identification of city sections, streets, rail roads, depots, and town squares. Each map has beautiful muted red, green, tan, pink, and yellow hand coloring.This map measures 15 inches by 13 inches. N° de ref. del artículo 24787

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 13 by 16 inches. Nº de ref. del artículo: 24561
