Description |
English: A beautiful 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of Cuba, Jamaica, Porto Rico and the Bahamas. Centered on Cuba, this map extends north to include the Florida Coast and New Providence Island, extends south as far A Jamaica. Includes the Cayman Islands and a detailed inset of Porto Rico in the lower left quadrant. Like most of Colton's North America maps, this map is largely derived from an earlier wall map of North America produced by Colton and D. Griffing Johnson. Colton identifies various cities, towns, forts, rivers, rapids, fords, and an assortment of additional offshore and topographical details. Map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define national and regional 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.57 in volume 1 of the first edition of George Washington Colton's 1855 Atlas of the World . |
