1856 1^ed ENORMOUS Colton World ATLAS 100+Huge MAPS Geography America 2v SET

Colton maps are often considered the very best of 19th-century maps. Known for their accuracy and attention to detail, Colton maps have maintained their desirability even into the 21^st-century.

Perhaps the best collection of Colton maps is his 1856 ‘Atlas of the World’ – a massive, two-volume set with more than 100 enormous full-page and double-paged maps. Each map contains detailed descriptions with historical and geographical data by Richard Swainson Fisher. And while each of the maps is impressive, the maps of North America and the United States are easily the most desirable!
