This map is from Asher & Adams" "New Statistical and Topographical Atlas of the World." This atlas is unique in its vivid hand coloring and easy to read town names. Asher & Adams had this to say in their forward: "The erroneous method of crowding and burdening maps with a vast amount of names, blurring the page and obscuring the places they should bring to view" has been discarded in this work." This map of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, & the District of Columbia pays particular attention to railroads, railroad stations, rivers, and numerous cities and towns.

The United States Geological Survey publishes topographic maps of the entire United States. These maps are often used as the basis for other commercial map products and they serve as one of the best tools available for navigating the country's wild and urban terrain. The maps show contour lines (lines of equal elevation) which depict natural features of the land, as well as streams, roads, trails, forest types, buildings, and other natural man-made features. It has become more difficult over the years to find these older publication dates.

Colton, the company founder, issued his first “General Atlas” in 1855 and continued publishing this atlas until 1888. These are the first maps we have ever offered from his 1861 “General Atlas”. We believe these 1861 maps are some of his most difficult to find. Every collection should have at least one map by J.H. Colton.

These maps have the signature * inch Colton border surrounding each map. The Colton firm refused to compromise quality, choosing to compete for sales in the finer quality international market rather than the cheap 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 is very detailed with identification of provinces and or regions, cities, towns and villages, transportation routes including railroads, common roads, and canals, rivers and lakes, battle fields, and mountain ranges. Each map has beautiful muted red, green, tan, pink, and yellow hand coloring.

Founded in the 1860's, the Arbuckle Coffee Company grew and expanded with 19th century America. It was a staple the cowboys carried with them on the trail, and a commodity commonly found in American homes at the time. The Arbuckle Company made a unique advertising effort in the late 1880's and began to enclose small decorative trade cards in their packages of coffee. The front of the card contained a colorful image of children, flowers, sports or even a map, while the back of the card had their advertising and some descriptive information. Later these trade cards became so collectible that the company focused on their success and issued them separately as premiums. These charming map cards illustrate beautifully the history and character the lands. Each map shows lakes and rivers, cities and towns, forts, the population, and area in square miles. Each card measures 3 1/4" x 5 1/4".
