Colton's Japan, with insets of Yesso and Nagasaki

For over 60 years the Colton family was the premier publisher of maps in the United States. J.H. 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.

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".

Johnson's Japan
|
Near the forefront of the atlas publication industry for a quarter century was mapmaker and aggressive marketer Alvin Jewitt Johnson. Around 1860, in a transaction that remains somewhat mysterious, Johnson acquired a set of detailed plates from J.H. Colton, one of the foremost mapmakers of the century, and used them to print the Johnson atlas that was to find its way into homes across the country. Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas was first published in 1860, and today these maps have become prized collectibles and true works of cartographic art. The attention to detail and fine hand coloring of these maps make them some of the best collectibles maps from the 19th century.
