Colton's Atlas of the World. J H Colton and Company. Size: 48.5 x 43 x 4.5 cm. There are 63 plates in vol 1 and 36 in vol 2. Double page plates count as two numbers in the index. Many of the plates have Published by J H Colton & Co. No:172 Williams Street New York. And a very small line saying "Entered According to Act of Congress in the Year 1855 by J H Colton in the Clerks Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York". I say many as I have not individually checked them all. Spines are worn with some loss. Covers show age wear as expected from 163 years of use. Except for as noted for volume 1 all pages are present.

One missing and one duplicate. The maps show little signs of use.

The tissue Guard for the vignette in Vol 2 appear to have been removed. Rear cover hinge very delicate but just holding. Ffep, 1st blank, and vignette are detached but present. The 1st blank has name and date (1908) in an old hand.

Vignette is the same as Colton's American Atlas. Plate 5 is missing (Lower Canada and New Brunswick). Plate 6 (Upper Canada) appears. Once with the plate number and once without. This is as it was bound as there is no evidence of any replacement. There is noticeable "Browning" to some of the pages. This seems to stem from the paper's manufacture or processing rather than the environment as "browned" pages are next to much whiter pages.

I understand this can be cleaned but consult a professional for verification. There is very little foxing. There are some age marks present. There are one or two small marginal tears not affecting images. Please "ask a question" if you have one.

Please see the photos as they are an integral part of the offer. It will be well packed and promptly sent. I cannot, sadly, guarantee the speed of any service due to factors beyond my control.

Please see the photos above as they are an integral part of the offer. Please "ask a question" if you have one, but don't leave it to the last moment. Please ask for other pictures or further close-ups.

Many thanks for viewing this listing. Please see my other offers.
