Additional Details

An unusual Colton wall map, well-detailed east of the Missouri River and showing Texas in a "stovepipe" configuration and a massive Nebraska Territory. We have been able to identify only one example of the same title and composition as the present, an 1847 edition sold here at Swann in 2002.
