J. H. Colton.  “The City of Charleston & The City of Savannah.” 

New York: J. H. Colton, 1857.  14 x 11 1/4.  Lithograph.  Full original hand-coloring.  Full margins.  Plain border.  Text on verso.  Very good condition. 

In the mid-nineteenth century, the center of map publishing in America moved from Philadelphia to New York.  The Colton publishing firm played a large role in this shift.  These two maps, their fine detail, is a strong example of their successful work.  The maps present the main areas of the cities today in contrasting pastel shades.  An attractive map as well as a worthwhile historical document.
