About Great River Arts: Great-River Arts began its journey in 2006, specializing in restoring and painting historical French maps of the Mississippi River. Art collectors and interior designers were captivated by the subtle enchantment of these gently painted maps, and demand for restored and painted historic maps quickly spread across the country. The historical map collection expanded into custom map services, catering to private estates, resorts, lakes, public lands, and regional attractions. Each map retains the vintage charm inspired by historic designs from the 1850s and earlier, incorporating authentic borders, cartouches, and fonts. Every piece of art created by Great River Arts is the result of an in-depth, collaborative process involving cartographers, architects, colorists, and professional researchers. With a commitment to exploration and creativity, the team continues to produce original works while engaging in new map suggestions and collaborations. Operating from its home base near Glacier National Park, Montana, Great River Arts is constantly inspired by the beauty of the natural world.

Joseph H. Colton was the founder of the company, but he had no formal training in geography or cartography; instead, he purchased copyrights of maps prepared by other individuals or companies, which he then published. Respected cartographer David H. Burr drew some of Josephs first maps in the 1830s. Around the 1850s, Coltons publishing work included guidebooks, atlases, and immigrant and railroad maps. In the 1860s, the firm was renamed G.W. & C.B. Colton, and it is believed that George W. Colton compiled the company's 1855 Atlas of the World and continued serving as the firm's primary map compiler, cartographer, and engraver. Colton's Map of the World on a Mercator's Projection is a smaller and re-engraved version Colton's important 1848 wall map of the world, believed to be compiled by George W. Colton and D. Griffing Johnson dated 1855. The map offers an interesting picture of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery in the 19th century, but focuses the attention on the Americas. The map identifies the sea routes taken by different notable late-18th century explorers by country, including James Cook, George Vancouver, François-Marie Bissot, and La Perouse. The map depicts topographic details such as various cities, towns, rivers, seas, oceans, and mountains. The map covers the continents in great detail stretching from the Atlantic to the Caspian Sea, and from the Arctic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. There is also a note situated at the bottom of the map which describes Captain Ross discovery of Victoria Land, January 12, 1841, and Mt. Terror and Mt. Erebus, the two volcanoes he named after the ships of the expedition. A vast portion of central Africa is characterized as Unexplored Region.' The vague illustration of the Antarctic reflects the lack of deep exploration of the region up to that point. With globalization and industrialization at its height, Coltons Map of the World would perhaps have served as one of the foremost maps to consult when trying to locate places of interest to conduct business. The detail and accuracy of the map is exactly why it was a go-to reference guide during its time. Due to nature of our product line the exact sizes may vary!
