Full Title	(Covers to) Topographical Map Of The West Indies And The Adjacent Coasts By John Pinkerton, Revised, Corrected and Published by J.H. Colton. No. 86 Cedar St. New York, 1853. Drawn under the direction of Mr. Pinkerton by L. Hebert. Neele sculpt. 352, Strand.
List No	2828.001
Note	This is the extraordinary reuse of an actual Pinkerton map plate of 1809 to make a pocket map in 1852. Colton has taken the almost fifty year old Pinkerton copper plate, made some corrections to the topography (see erased lake in Florida) and added modern features such as railroads in Cuba, new settlements, and a list of Geographical Statistics in the upper right. He probably reissued it because the Pinkerton map is beautifully done and most of the basic topography remained correct. Where he got the plate is somewhat of a mystery, although it may have been obtained from successors to the Philadelphia publisher Thomas Dobson who issued the Philadelphia edition of Pinkerton's Modern Atlas in 1818 (see our #4840). Neele and Hebert are still credited below the neat line. Map is folded into stamped brown cloth covers 14.5x9 with "Map Of The West Indies J.H. Colton" in gilt. Full color. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridian is Greenwich.

Note	The second edition of this map, the first being 1853. Folded into stamped black covers 12.5x8.5 with "Map Of California J.H. Colton" stamped in gilt. The copyright date is 1853. This was Thomas Streeter's copy, with his note on the verso: "This is Wheat 254 who only locates it in Capron's History of California." Although the Capron version is the same map, the Capron's title differs in having the 1854 date directly under the word "California;" in this version, the date is directly under the line showing Colton as publisher with his address. There is also a "Census of California" printed on the verso. This map, updated from time to time, appeared in many editions of Colton's American Atlas, Atlas of the World, and General Atlas. In this earlier form, it was part of Colton's series of "Travelling Maps" that eventually were incorporated into his atlases. The 1853 edition has "Nevada" for Nevada City, the 1854 edition has "Nevada City." Prime meridians are greenwich and Washington D.C. Relief shown by hachures.

Note	First edition, second issue. Many changes from the first edition, first issue: a scale of miles is added to the right of the title, the town of Snapps Stn. is added in the inset map "Plan of Extension of Oil Creek," and many other creeks are named or added, as are roads, owners' names, etc. These changes may have been occasioned by the the publication of Beer's Atlas of the Oil Region of Pennsylvania in 1865 (see our #62) which includes many of the updates that16 appear on this second issue of Colton's map. Folded into patterned light brown cloth covers 16x10 with "Colton's Map Of The Oil District Of Venango Crawford & Warren Counties Pennsylvania. J.H. Colton. New York." in gilt.

Note	Colton took over the publishing of this map from Johnson in 1849. This is a later Colton issue. Many updates have been made in North America, the Arctic, Africa, and elsewhere. The journey of a Frenchman around the world in 1854 to 1857 is shown in manuscript with interesting notes on the travel. Two stickers on the outside of the case are French in origin, further indicating that the map was most likely purchased in Paris by the Frenchman at the end of his journey in 1857 - showing that Colton was selling his maps in Europe at that time and that his maps were competitive with European maps - at least our traveler thought so. See our 1847 first edition by Johnson. Full color map with silk edging, dissected into 20 sections. Folds into half leather brown cloth covered boards 38x41 with ties, titled "Colton's World. New-York" stamped in gilt.

Note	This is the first issue of this map, which had a long life as the double page atlas map of the United States in Colton's American Atlas, World Atlas and General Atlas. The Gadsden Purchase is not shown. Kansas is not shown and Nebraska is in a very unusual configuration, interlocking on the east with an equally strange shaped Indian Territory - this reflects the unsettled Nebraska and Kansas boundary situation in the year prior to creation of Kansas in 1854. With large vine border, full color, folded into stamped red cloth covers 14.5x9 with "Colton's Map Of The United States Of America." in gilt. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.
