1856 Colton Map of Canada's Maritme Provinces: New Brunswick. Nova Scotia, Newfoundland WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS- NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: ... moreNew Brunswick. Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Id. Description: A beautiful 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of Canada's Maritime Provinces. Including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island. Like most of Colton's North America maps, this map was derived from an earlier wall map of the region produced by Colton and D. Griffing Johnson. The map covers all of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward, along with a portion of adjacent Quebec. Canadian provinces and territories were under British and French control from the 16th century, until France gave up its claims in the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Canada would remain a collection of British colonies until its confederation in 1867, when the British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia would become Canadian provinces along with Ontario and Quebec. Although known as the'Birthplace of Confederation' Prince Edward Island would only join the confederation in 1873. This map also identifies various forts, rivers, mountain passes, fords, and an assortment of additional topographical details. Map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define state and territorial boundaries. Surrounded by Colton's typical spiral motif border. Dated and copyrighted to J. H. Colton, 1855. Published from Colton's 172 William Street Office in New York City. Issued as page no. 4 in volume 1 of Colton's 1856 Atlas of the World. Size: Printed area measures 13.5 inches high by 16.5 inches wide. Condition: Very good. Blank on verso. Even overall toning. Shipping: Due to recent increases in United States Postal Service rates we have been forced to increase our shipping rates. Shipping rates are not negotiable. Items are shipped within three business days of receiving payment. We are happy to consolidate shipping where possible.

1855 Colton Atlas Map United States - City of Philadelphia Pennsylvania
This auction is for the extremely rare and 100% original and authentic antique map of the above region. Cartographer and year. This auction is only for the map that is pictured in this listing. I cannot stress enough how beautiful this map is up close compared to the photos that you see. Note that the photos do not do the map justice. This is truly an incredible map to behold! This is your chance to own a map that can be the centerpiece of your collection. Cartographer: Joseph Hutchins Colton(July 5. 1800- July 29, 1893) often publishing as J. H. Colton, was an important American map and atlas publisher active from 1833 to 1893(though the firm continued to published in 1897) Colton's firm arose from humble beginnings when he moved to New York in 1831 and befriended the established engraver Samuel Stiles. Colton recognized an emerging ... moremarket in railroad maps and immigrant guides. Not a cartographer or engraver himself, Colton's initial business practice mostly involved purchasing the copyrights of other cartographers, most notably David H. Burr, and reissuing them with updated engraving and border work. His first maps, produced in 1833, were based on earlier Burr maps and depicted New York State and New York City. Between 1833 and 1855 Colton would proceed to publish a large corpus of guidebooks and railroad maps which proved to be very popular. In the early 1850s Colton brought his two sons, George Woolworth Colton(1827- 1901) and Charles B. Colton(1832- 1916) into the map business. G. W. Colton, trained as a cartographer and engraver, was particularly inspired by the idea of creating a large and detailed world atlas to compete established European firms for the U.S. market. In 1855 G.W. Colton issued volume one the impressive two volume Colton's Atlas of the World. Volume two followed a year later. Possibly because of the expense of purchasing a two volume atlas set, the sales of the Atlas of the World did not meet Colton's expectations and it was thus that, in 1856, they also issued the Atlas as

Original 1855 Map of Georgetown and Washington DC by Cartographer J H Colton
Description: This is an original Colton map produced in 1855 in New York and marked No. 24. I believe it is hand water colored. It is printed on medium stock paper. Joseph Hutchins Colton was born July 5. 1800 and founded an American map-making company in 1831. This map has the uniqueness of 3 pictograms; the Washington Monument. The Capitol Building and the Smithsonian Institution. Colton created railroad maps. Immigrant guides, folding pocket maps, large wall maps and elaborate atlases. His maps were printed using engraved steel plates which produced higher quality prints. These type of maps had decorative borders and were often individually hand water colored. The exact outside measurements of the map are 15 and 3/4" high by 18 and 7/16' wide. Professional custom framing was $797.40. It is triple matted with double framing under ... morethe glass. This sets the map back away from the glass about 3/4" giving a 3-D look. Overall measurements are 28" x 30" Pictures do not do this framed piece of history any justice. What a great piece for your office or den! Condition: This antique map is in excellent condition. It has some light spotting on the back with very light yellowing. Some dark yellowing is around the border about 1/2" in from the edge. The border has a couple of small tears(1/4" with small piece of both bottom corners missing. Map is mark-free.

Cartographer: Joseph Hutchins Colton(July 5. 1800- July 29, 1893) often publishing as J. H. Colton, was an important American map and atlas publisher active from 1833 to 1893(though the firm continued to published in 1897) Colton's firm arose from humble beginnings when he moved to New York in 1831 and befriended the established engraver Samuel ... moreStiles. Colton recognized an emerging market in railroad maps and immigrant guides. Not a cartographer or engraver himself, Colton's initial business practice mostly involved purchasing the copyrights of other cartographers, most notably David H. Burr, and reissuing them with updated engraving and border work. His first maps, produced in 1833, were based on earlier Burr maps and depicted New York State and New York City. Between 1833 and 1855 Colton would proceed to publish a large corpus of guidebooks and railroad maps which proved to be very popular. In the early 1850s Colton brought his two sons, George Woolworth Colton(1827- 1901) and Charles B. Colton(1832- 1916) into the map business. G. W. Colton, trained as a cartographer and engraver, was particularly inspired by the idea of creating a large and detailed world atlas to compete established European firms for the U.S. market. In 1855 G.W. Colton issued volume one the impressive two volume Colton's Atlas of the World. Volume two followed a year later. Possibly because of the expense of purchasing a two volume atlas set, the sales of the Atlas of the World did not meet Colton's expectations and it was thus that,
