Colton’s General Atlas is a 19th century commercial world atlas by G. Woolworth Colton, with descriptive text by Richard Swainson Fisher, and it was issued in multiple editions through the late 1800s. The atlas began as Colton’s earlier Atlas of the World in 1855–1856, then was reduced to a single volume work under the title “Colton’s General Atlas” starting in 1857. The subject work is an 1866 copy, and is a later edition in a long running atlas series.
The 1866 edition is bibliographically useful because it sits in the transitional period after Colton’s firm had already changed hands and reorganised, and references note that the 1866 issue differs from 1865, particularly in western mapping.
