Life insurance sales increased dramatically at the onset of the American Civil War when several major companies decided to ensure war risks for an additional premium rate of 2% to 5%. The New York Mutual Life Insurance Company divided assured persons in the Southern States into four classes: soldiers of the United States Army secessionists union partizans and slaves. Policies contained the provision: "Provided that in case the said — — shall without the consent of this company engage in any extra hazardous occupation or shall without such previous consent enter into any military service whatsoever the militia not in active service excepted or in case he shall die by the hands of justice or in the violation of any state national or provincial law this policy shall be null and void" New York Commercial Advertiser 1861. unknown‎

‎Colton’s Map of Florida.‎

‎New York: G.W. & C.B. Colton 1868. Rare 19th century printing of Colton's map of Florida. One page the lithographed map shows a detailed view of the state of Florida with an inset of the southern portion and the Keys. In near fine condition. Matted and framed. The entire piece measures 35.5 inches by 25.5 inches. In 1846 Colton published Colton’s Map of the United States of America British Possessions . . . his first venture into the wall map business. This work would be issued until 1884 and was the first of several successful wall maps issued by the firm including collaborative works with D.G. Johnson. From the 1840s to 1855 the firm focused on the production of railroad maps. Later it published a number of Civil War maps. In 1855 Colton finally issued his first atlas Colton’s Atlas of the World issued in two volumes in 1855 and 1856 but later in 1857 the work was reduced to a single volume under the title of Colton’s General Atlas which was published in largely the same format until 1888. It is in this work that George Woolworth G. W. Colton’s name appears for the first time. Born in 1827 and lacking formal training as a mapmaker G. W. joined his father’s business and would later help it to thrive. His brother Charles B. C. B. Colton would also join the firm. Beginning in 1859 the General Atlas gives credit to Johnson & Browning a credit which disappears after 1860 when Johnson & Browning launched their own atlas venture Johnson’s New Illustrated Steel Plate Family Atlas . . .which bears Colton’s name as the publisher in the 1860 and 1861 editions. The firm continued until the late 1890s when it merged with a competitor and then ceased to trade under the name Colton. G.W. & C.B. Colton unknown‎
