Item Details

Description

Arguably the finest American Mountains and Rivers chart of the mid-19th century. This is Colton’s 1855 prototype for the popular 1860-1863 Johnson's Mountains and Rivers chart. Depicts relative distances of the world's great rivers and the relative heights of the world's great mountains in a spectacular layout. Includes a multitude of details regarding the heights of important cities, glaciers, volcanoes, and tree lines. Even includes Niagara Falls, the Great Pyramid, St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and St. Paul's in London. Also notes curiosities that would have been relevant at the time, such as 'The Greatest Altitude of the Growth of Peruvian Bark,' 'The Glacier of Maladetts,' the 'Table Land of Pamar,' and the 'Greatest Altitude attained by Humboldt 19400 ft.' Replete with additional geographical errors and misconceptions common to the period. Surrounded by the Colton vine motif border which was dropped from certain later issues of the atlas. It is extremely uncommon to find this map in such great condition because it was issued at the front of the Colton Atlas, where most of the heavy damage from moisture, soiling, and general use was sustained. From a very clean copy of the 1856 first edition of Colton’s Atlas of the World. fantastic example with very minimal toning at extreme edges. A near fresh-looking beauty. 17.5 x 24.75.
