This atlas was the first world atlas produced by Colton, after many years of issuing pocket maps, wall maps, guides, and maps for books.

Bound into quarter leather embossed brown cloth covered boards with "Colton's Atlas Of The World" and an illustration stamped in gold. The same title is stamped on the spine. Full color maps. P816.
