Map of Philadelphia from scarce Colton atlas

Item Details

Description

Highly detailed map with identification of street names, important parks, rivers, and railroad lines. Lovely pastel red, green, tan, pink, and yellow hand coloring used to distinguish sections of the city. Map comes from an extremely scarce 1890 edition of Colton’s General Atlas. Map experts had long thought the last Colton atlas was produced in 1888, but a recent discovery of this extremely scarce 1890 atlas has changed our knowledge of the Colton publishing timeline—in more than twenty years in the antiquarian map business, this is the only copy of this atlas I’ve ever heard of. Full original hand coloring by counties (possibly the last atlas to feature hand-coloring…by 1880 nearly every atlas producer was using printed color). Clean and sound with no faults. A lovely example of a scarce map. 13 x 16.
