Title: Antique 1881 Colton's New Introductory Geography – Sheldon & Company, NY (Rare Map/Textbook)
Produced by the legendary Colton cartographic family, this Victorian-era schoolbook serves as an incredible time capsule. It offers a fascinating look at how the world, political borders, and the United States were viewed and taught over 140 years ago.
- Publisher: Sheldon and Company, New York
- Publication Year: 1881
- Features: Heavily illustrated throughout with detailed period engravings, woodcuts, and multi-colored regional study maps drawn expressly for this series.
Condition Note (Heavy Distressed Antique Charm):
This book is in heavily worn, well-loved antique condition. The original illustrated hard boards show significant edge wear, scuffing, and material loss, exposing the thick underlying binding board along the corners and bottom edge. The spine has been reinforced or repaired with dark cloth tape to preserve the structural binding. Interior pages show expected age-toning, handling soil, and shelf-wear consistent with a classroom textbook from the 1880s.
