Beschreibung:
Art Source International is proud to offer this map from the 1861 edition of Coltons General Atlas. China is illustrated, regions are differentiated in original hand coloring. An inset map of Canton and adjacent islands and the Harbor and Island of Amoy is included also. This map of Asia was made by G.W and C.B Colton & Co in 1881. 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 Asia is very detailed with identification of countries, important cities, rivers, lakes, mountain ranges, and the Great Wall. Each map has beautiful muted red, green, tan, pink, and yellow hand coloring used to distinguish regions.The map measures 15.5 by 13.5 inches. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 46535

Art Source International is proud to offer this map from the 1860 edition of Coltons General Atlas. Colton atlases, especially those from the late 1850's, have become increasingly rare.
