Northern Italy

Art Source International is proud to offer this map from the 1857 edition of Coltons General Atlas. Colton atlases, especially those from the late 1850’s, have become increasingly rare. The “General Atlas” was the first single edition atlas published by the Colton brothers succeeding the expensive two volume “Atlas of the World.” The Colton firm refused to compromise quality, choosing to compete for sales in the finer quality international market rather than the inexpensive domestic one. Because of this, all maps were engraved by steel plates rather than by wax engraving, which was the most common method used at this time. This map of Northern Italy is very detailed. It shows lakes and rivers, mountains, regions and or provinces, railroads, wagon trails, cities and towns, and many other details. Muted pastel hand coloring in pink, blue, green, and yellow.
