Art Source International is proud to offer this map of France from the 1856 edition of Coltons Atlas of the World. Colton atlases, especially those from the 1850's, have become increasingly rare. The Colton maps were engraved by steel plates rather than by wax engraving, which was the most common method used at this time. These maps are very detailed in beautiful hand colored pastels, and feature Colton's signature 3/4 inch border. This map shows countries and/or regions, cities, towns and villages, transportation routes, common roads, canals, rivers and lakes, and other geographical features.This map measures 16 inches by 13 inches.

Art Source International is proud to offer this map from the 1857 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. 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 France is very detailed. It shows lakes and rivers, mountains, regions and or provinces, railroads, wagon trails, cities and towns, and many other details. Muted pastel hand coloring in pink, blue, green, and yellow. Also has an inset map of Corsica. This map measures 12.5 by 14.5 inches. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 47040
