This is the first edition, first state, of the Colton New York City atlas map in which Olmstead's Central Park is completely absent.

Wonderful attention to detail includes individual streets and even important buildings and parks. Originally prepared as plates no 17 and 18 in J. H. Colton's 1856 single volume issue of the Atlas of the World… . Dated and copyrighted: "Entered according to the Act of Congress in the Year of 1855 by J. H.

What is Infinity Framing?
Wow Factor
Infinity frame
The image is printed on a durable fabric, which is stretched inside a slim aluminum frame. It’s transportable, interchangeable, and easy to assemble. Our infinity frame pieces for large sized prints will lend a “wow” factor to your space.
Better than Canvas
The colors in our fabric prints are crisp and true to life, with a matte, glare-free finish. With our printing process, the colors permeate the fabric, rather than settling on top, which reduces the risk of scratching or fading. Your art will last a long time!
Easy to Install
Assemble the frame in minutes, insert the fabric print into the grooves, and your art is ready to hang!
