His sons George W. (1827-1901) and Charles B. (1831-1916) joined their father in business, and the General Atlas here for sale was produced under the direction of George. This atlas provides an encyclopaedic description of the world (statistics are from 1850), the maps accompanied by text compiled by Richard S. Fisher.** Colton atlases, especially those from the late 1850’s, have become increasingly rare. All maps were engraved by steel plates rather than by wax engraving which was the most common method used at this time, and they feature beautiful muted red, green, tan, pink, and yellow hand coloring. The same year this atlas was published (1859), Colton was forced into bankruptcy, and the plates for this Atlas were bought by Johnson and Browning, who quickly produced several reprints. This, however, is the Colton production and of higher quality.** Title page bears the date 1859, under the imprint of J.H. Colton and Company, New York.** "Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight. AbeBooks shipping quotes are ESTIMATES only. Seller Inventory #010484"**.…
