Outline color by state, folded into dark gray modern cloth covers 15x10 with "Colton's Map Of The United States And The Canadas" in gilt. Issued separately in pocket map form, linen backed (High Ridge #108 in Cat 18), and in the Traveler's and Tourist's Guide Book (and Route Book) Through the United States of America and the Canadas. First edition was 1850 (Howes C623) by Colton, Howes says the guide is descended from J. Calvin Smith's Guide of 1846, the map is slightly larger scale than the Smith and larger in size, and it is clearly related. Another example of the Colton/Smith relationship - this Guide, the Western Guide, and the Large Map of the U.S. and the Canadas. This map is derived from the large wall map of the United States of America (see our #3960). The division between the two plates used to make this portion of the wall map is visible in Tenn. and N. Carolina. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C. |

Two maps in one folder, as issued, brown cloth covers 13.5x8.5 stamped with grape-design has "Burr's Map Of The State Of Ohio Published By J.H. Colton & Co. New York" printed in gilt. The full color Burr Ohio map is engraved and printed by S.Stiles & Co. The uncolored Portsmouth map is lithographed by P. Desobry's, N.Y.C. The first edition of the Ohio map was issued in 1833. Inset of Cincinnati. One of Colton's early maps and one of several he published with Burr. The map of Portsmouth appears in no records but seems similar to several maps issued in 1833 to show the opening of the Ohio & Erie Canal. There is a view on the map of "Proposed Front of One Block" which shows buildings to be erected, so this may be a promotional real estate map, as well. |

This is an unusual pairing of two maps normally found separately, here folded into stamped brown cloth covers 14.5x9 with "Township Map of the Western States" stamped in gilt on the front. The map of New England is the scarcer of the two - it has six vignettes in the decorative border, four of which are views of Montreal, Toronto, New York, and Boston, as well as three inset maps of Boston, New York and the railroad route from Washington to New York. The accompanying map of the mid western states was published with Smith's "Western Tourist or Emigrant's Guide" 1853 and separately (see our #2962 and #190). Both maps in full color by county. Prime meridian is Washington D.C. |
