Art Source International is proud to offer this map from the 1857 edition of Colton's General Atlas. Colton atlases, especially those from the late 1850's, have become increasingly rare. The General Atlas was the first single edition atlas published by the Colton brothers succeeding the expensive two volume Atlas of the World. 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 of East Indies is very detailed. It shows lakes and rivers, mountains, regions and or provinces, railroads, wagon trails, cities and towns, and many other details. Muted pastel hand coloring in pink, blue, green, and yellow. Includes inset maps of Yesso and the Bay of Nacasaki.

In 20 years of business, this is the FIRST Cram railroad atlas like this that we've ever seen at Art Source, and we cannot understate that it is most likely the FINEST atlas George F. Cram ever produced. With exceptionally bright colors, and crisp, bright paper, these maps are in excellent condition and are superior to other Cram railroad atlases. The maps main emphasis, however, must certainly be the precise depiction of the railroad routes. Every railroad line is named, numbered and color-coded by a legend on the map, giving a detailed glimpse into the prolific
rail-system of turn-of-the-century America. Cities, towns, lakes, rivers, creeks and mountain ranges are shown, counties are outlined in pink, and railroad lines are given in yellow, red, blue and green. A fine addition to any collection!

FRAMED Arbuckles' Coffee Card of Japan 1886
|
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".
