More Information

Most likely the finest American Mountains and Rivers chart / map of the 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 curiousitys that would have been relevant at the time, such as The Greatest Altitue of the Growth of Peruvian Bark, The Glacier of Maladetts, the Table Land of Pamar, and the Greatest Altitude attained by Humbolt 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 later issues of the atlas. It is extremely rare to find this map such fine condition as this one 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 purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

★★★★★
Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.
Cindy O.

★★★★★
I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!
Cheryl H.

★★★★★
Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.
Konrad B.

★★★★★
I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.
Aaron C.

★★★★★
The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.
Dan M.

★★★★★
I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.
Steven Ko

★★★★★
Great heavy paper quality and clarity of my nautical map. Will be a great addition to our home close to the beach!

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!

Statement Piece

Easy and modern way to display large art in your home or office
