1857 Township Map of the State of New York by Colton
1857-Dated, Publisher's Brown Cloth Covered Pocket Folding Map, "Colton's Railroad & Township Map of the State of New York with Parts of Adjoining States & Canada," Very Fine.
This large, highly detailed Hand-Colored Folding Map with County borders measures a full 26" x 29" when open. This Map is attached to the publisher's brown cloth binding which was blind-tooled, and lettered in gold gilt, titled: "Township Map of the State of New-York - Published by J.H. Colton." When the Map is folded within the covers this Booklet measures a mere 5.75" x 3.5". The Map is separated along many folds suggesting some restoration before display, yet what a colorful vivid display it will make!
