With red cloth covers 14.5x9 stamped with gilt title reading "Thirty Three Miles Around The City Of New-York." and a small circular map of New York (later editions omit the map on the cover). First issued in 1846, when it was reengraved by Atwood from J.H. Eddy's "Map of the Country Thirty Miles round the City of New York" which was originally issued in 1811 (see our #3472). This is one of Colton's most attractive maps, showing New York and vicinity in circular format surrounded by a vine border with views of City Hall, New York and City Hall, Brooklyn. It was published in many editions for almost fifty years - our latest edition is 1891 (Haskell lists eight editions from 1846 to 1873 only). The early editions were engraved on copper plate (our 1853) and at some point before our 1865 edition the copper plate was transferred to lithographic stone and all subsequent editions were lithographed.

Note
Shows all of Long Island and shoreline settlement on north shore of Long Island Sound, as well as the New York City environs, with a large inset map titled "Brooklyn, New York, Jersey City, Hoboken, etc." The copyright date is 1873, so there probably were issues as early as 1873 or 1874. This is on a larger scale than the Colton pocket map of Long Island (see our #5073). With black top and bottom rollers. Full color. Shows roads, railroads, cemeteries, parks, rural buildings, and water features.
