1855 Colton Map of the World on Mercator Projectio Poster
A beautiful 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of the World on a Mercator Projection. Centred on the continent of America, this map of the world is hand coloured in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels. This map is a reduction and re-engraving of Colton's important 1848 wall map of the world. Colton identifies the routes taken by various important explorers including Cook, Vancouver, Vincennes, and Perouse. A notes at the bottom of the map describes the 1841 discoveries of Mt. Terror and Mt. Erebus in Antarctica by Captain Ross. Much of central Africa is marked Unexplored Regions. 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 nos. 8 and 9 in volume 1 of the first edition of George Washington Colton's 1855 Atlas of the World .

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame.
This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again.
One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up.
Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font.
Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
