Charming, small map of New Jersey originally published in Charles Colby's The Diamond Atlas. The Western Hemisphere. Borders and counties are hand-colored, and railroads, major cites, and geographical features are noted. Sussex County in the north and Cape May in the south both expand beyond the map's border. Slight foxing to the borders.
Charles G. Colby (1830--1866) was an American map-maker active in the mid-19th century who is known best for his miniature maps. His "The World in Miniature," otherwise known at the "Diamond Atlas,"focused on the western hemisphere. His main focus was the United States, and he produced individual maps for each of the states. The atlas also includes maps of the hemispheres, several thematic world maps, North America, Canadian provides, the West Indies, and Central and South America. This map is exemplary of Colby's work.
