Description |
English: A beautiful 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of the Central America and Jamaica. Covers from the Yucatan southeast as far as Panama and north as far as Jamaica. Like most of Colton's North America maps, this map is largely derived from an earlier wall map of North America produced by Colton and D. Griffing Johnson. Features several insets, including the Isthmus of Panama, the Harbor of San Juan de Nicaragua, the Nicaragua Route, Aspinwall City, and the City of Panama. Throughout the map, Colton identifies various cities, towns, forts, rivers, rapids, fords, and an assortment of additional offshore and topographical details. Map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define national and regional boundaries. 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 no. 55 in volume 1 of the first edition of George Washington Colton's 1855 Atlas of the World . |
