Description
An original antique map of Canada West, also called ‘Upper Canada,’ today’s Ontario Province. It was published by the J.H. Colton firm in 1856. In the mid-nineteenth century, the center of map publishing in America moved from Philadelphia to New York and the Colton publishing firm played a large role in this shift. The detail is impressive, and the hand color and decorative border add to the map’s aesthetics.
