Wisconsin ( colton , 1857)
map old, taken from the famous colton's General atlas ! By colton (New York JH colton And Company, No 172 William Street). 1857 edition, but earlier copyright. This atlas revolutionized the genre and its maps are extremely valuable testimonies to the history of the construction of the United States, at the time when this country began to take a definitive form. The cards of this edition are very sought after especially as they have the rare particularity of being devoid of the famous decorative borders typical of colton !!!
Entitled: “Wisconsin". Original from 1857. Vintage hand colors. Map from the US state of Wisconsin. With indication of the main railway lines, main roads and main towns. Each county in the state is highlighted by a different pastel color.
Dimensions: 36 x 43.5 cm (14 x 17 inches)
Completely good condition. The paper has a very beautiful patina and a beautiful grain. Possible defects in this board are: Wetness or humidity in the margins, a few stains and possibly a few small tears or tears on the periphery of the sheet. Condition fully compliant with standards and the main defects will be hidden by quality framing. Magnificent color and details typical of colton and the American spirit: Straight lines, reliefs, rivers, names, perspectives... Everything is done for a trip to 19th century America. Please look carefully at the photos to get as faithful a representation of the Map as possible. You buy what you see.
Joseph Hutchins colton , born in Longmeadow, Massachusetts on July 5, 1800 and died on July 29, 1893, known as JH colton , was an American geographer and cartographer. Born in the state of Massachusetts in 1800, he settled in New York in 1831 where he founded his company, JH colton & Company. He created railway maps, guides for immigrants, and atlases. His sons George Woolworth colton (1827 – 1901) and Charles B. colton (1832 – 1916) also collaborated in his business. His works are preserved in the archives of many states in the United States, as well as in the Library of Congress.
Wisconsin is a state in the Midwestern United States. It is bordered to the north by Lake Superior and Michigan, to the east by Lake Michigan, to the south by Illinois and to the west by Iowa and Minnesota. France ceded this territory to the British in 1763. Wisconsin was acquired by the United States at the conclusion of the American Revolution in 1783 but remained effectively administered by the British until the British-American War of 1812.
