Item Details

Description

Nice example of Colton's Map of the World from the first edition of Colton’s Atlas of the World. Shows the routes of numerous 18th and 19th Century explorers, including Cook, Furneaux, Vancouver, the US/Vincennes voyage, La Perouse, Resolution, etc., with the years of the relevant journey. Colored by countries. The first signs of the Antarctic Coast are shown. While the world is now taking a nearly final shape, the geopolitical borders are still evolving in this interesting mid 19th Century World map. Colton maps were known for their accuracy and this, together with their stylish decorative borders, established the Colton firm as the pre-eminent North American cartographers of their day. Lovely condition with no faults and great color. 17.75 x 26.5
