1855 Colton Map or Chart of the World's Mountains
Most likely the finest American Mountains and Rivers chart or map of the mid 19th century. This is the 1855 Colton prototype for the popular 1860-1863 Johnson’s Mountains and Rivers chart. Depicts the relative distances of the world’s great rivers and the relative heights of the world’s great mountains. Includes a multitude of details regarding the heights of important cities, glaciers, volcanoes, and tree lines. Even includes Niagara Falls, the Great Pyramid, St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and St. Paul’s in London. Also notes curiosities that would have been relevant at the time, such as The Greatest Altitude of the Growth of Peruvian Bark, The Glacier of Maladetts, the Table Land of Pamar, and the Greatest Altitude attained by Humboldt 19400 ft. Replete with additional geographical errors and misconceptions common to the period. Surrounded by the traditional Colton vine motif border which was dropped from certain later issues of the atlas. It is extremely rare to find this map such good condition because it was issued at the front of the Colton Atlas, where most of the heavy damage from moisture, soiling, and general use was sustained.

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.

Creator Review
Fun bright artwork that really captures the mood I’m going for! Pop art with cyberpunk energy. A little sweet but also spicy. This art is the perfect size and vibe for our art gallery wall. The printing looks great, high quality with vibrant colors! I went with the semi-gloss finish, which adds a little extra shine and thickness to the print making it excellent for high-traffic areas like the staircase wall.
