	COLTON, G.W. and C.B Maine New York: Published [by Colton] for Hoyt, Fogg, & Breed, Portland, Maine, 1871. Full period color, 12¼ x 15¾ inches. Minor repairs. A folding sheet map with time tables for various Maine railroads printed on the verso. An interesting example of a Colton map that has been adapted for a special purpose. The map originally appeared in 1855 in Colton's Atlas of the World. This revised edition was especially prepared for railroad use through the addition of the railroad time tables on the back. Not in Phillips, who lists an 1876 edition in this format published for "Hoyt, Fogg & Donham." Not in Rumsey. #3066$350.00
	COLTON, George W. (1827-1901) & Charles B. (1832-1916) Colton's New Map of Long Island New York: Colton & Co., 1882. Engraved map, with full period color, on two sheets, that if joined would measure 30 x 62¼ inches, gilt-stamped brown cloth covers, expertly repaired, in very good condition. An excellent nineteenth-century map of Long Island With a large inset of "Brooklyn, New York, Jersey City, Hoboken, etc." This is probably the largest commercially published map of Long Island to date, which indicates the increasing population and importance of Long Island. Development in the eighteen years since the publication of the 1865 map has been dramatic. Explosive growth can be seen throughout Queens, especially in Jamaica and Garden City. Railroads now crisscross the island, with the Brooklyn & Montauk Railroad extending along its southern coast as far as Sag Harbor. The map was evidently first introduced in 1873. Rumsey (167) lists a later 1888 edition. Not in Phillips. #3225$5,750.00
