19thc J. H. Colton Map of Northern Italy
An uncommon 1857 issue of J. H. Colton's map of Northern Italy, includes Lombardy & Venice, Sardinia, Tuscany, Parma, Modena, Lucca & the States of the Church, Corsica & parts of Naples, France, Switzerland & Tyrol. Divided & color coded according to province, showing major towns & cities, roadways & railroads, as well as geological features such as lakes & rivers. 13 3/4 X 17 1/4". Like most Colton maps, this map is dated 1855, but most likely was issued in the later 1857 issue of Colton's Atlas. This was the only issue of Colton's Atlas that appeared without his trademark grillwork border. Dated & copyrighted: 'entered according to the Act of Congress in the Year of 1855 by J. H. Colton & Co. in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.' Published from Colton's 172 William Street Office in New York City, NY.
