Description
Extremely nice example of the second state of this important map with huge margins and full hand color. The map's importance is noted by its use as the color frontispiece for volume 4 of Carl Wheat's monumental "Mapping the Transmississippi West." The map shows the entire southwestern United States as just two territories. That would change dramatically over the next eight years. This beautiful, authentic antique map is from the 1856 edition of Colton's Atlas of the World. The print image is superior and the paper is in exceptional condition with just a whisper of toning to the extreme outside edges (will not show when matted). An unusually clean and bright example of a hallmark of nineteenth century American mapmaking.
