TALLIS John (Attivo a Londra intorno alla metà del XIX sec.)
New South Wales
Decorativa carta geografica pubblicata in The Illustrated Atlas, And Modern History Of The World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical… edito da John Tallis. Le mappe del The Illustrated Atlas non solo fornivano conoscenze geografiche aggiornate, ma utilizzavano anche viste a vignetta all'interno del disegno per mostrare i popoli nativi e le loro occupazioni, le città e i punti di interesse. Le mappe si rifanno alla tradizione cartografica dei cartografi olandesi del XVII secolo, con bordi decorativi finemente incisi. Le tavole sono state disegnate e incise da John Rapkin con vedute realizzate da una serie di artisti di spicco. Le mappe furono pubblicate in volume completo dal 1851 fino al 1865 circa. Alcune delle mappe furono pubblicate anche in altri libri di storia pubblicati da Tallis, tra cui quello sulle British Colonies e, senza le vignette, in dizionari geografici ed enciclopedie fino al 1880 circa. John Tallis (1817-1876) era un editore di mappe britannico. Nato nelle Midlands, Tallis arrivò a Londra negli anni '40 del XIX secolo. Tallis iniziò la sua carriera londinese con una serie di notevoli vedute stradali di Londra. Iniziò una collaborazione con un certo Frederick Tallis, forse suo fratello, ma la loro collaborazione terminò nel 1849. In occasione della Grande Esposizione del 1851, Tallis pubblicò il The Illustrated Atlas. Le mappe furono successivamente ristampate dalla London Printing & Publishing Company, che lasciò intatta l'imprint di Tallis, assicurandogli così una fama duratura. Incisione su acciaio, coloritura dei confini all'acquarello, in ottime condizioni. Decorative map taken from The Illustrated Atlas, And Modern History Of The World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical by John Tallis The maps from The Illustrated Atlas were first published in serial form to a target audience that led insular lives due to the expense and hardship of travel. All that changed as the progress of the nineteenth century brought swift and dramatic changes in public awareness of far away places. Tallis' maps no doubt played an important role in this dramatic awakening. These maps not only provided up-to-date geographical knowledge, but also used vignette views within the map's design to show the native people and their occupations, cities and points of interest. The maps hark back to a cartographic tradition from the Dutch mapmakers of the seventeenth century with finely engraved decorative borders. The maps were drawn and engraved by John Rapkin with views drawn and engraved by a number of prominent artists. The maps were issued as a complete volume from 1851 until about 1865. Some of the maps were also published in other history books published by Tallis including British Colonies and, without the vignettes, in geographical dictionaries and encyclopedias until about 1880. John Tallis (1817-1876) was a British map publisher. Born in the Midlands, Tallis came to London in the 1840s. Tallis began his London career with a series of remarkable London street views. He began a partnership with a Frederick Tallis, possibly his brother, but their collaboration ended in 1849. For the Great Exhibition of 1851, Tallis published the Illustrated World Atlas, one of the last series of decorative world maps ever produced. The maps were later reissued by the London Printing & Publishing Company, who left the Tallis imprint intact, thus ensuring his enduring fame. In 1858, he began publication of the popular Illustrated News of the World and National Portrait Gallery of Eminent Personages, selling it in 1861 (it ceased publication in 1863).

TAYLOR, E.G.R.
The Missing Draft Project of Drake's Voyage of 1577-80 [AND] Hondius's Portraits of Drake and Cavendish.
3 pages, plus 3 plates, one showing the portrait illustrations of Drake and Cavendish, and two showing the draft. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is an enlightening succinct account of tremendous historical importance, the most significant discovery of two documents found in the British Museum, revealing the actual draft project and other correspondence concerning Drake's secret voyage, which existed prior to the dramatic expedition. Previous to this report, all discussions as to what plan and instructions Drake carried with him when he finally sailed for Magellan's strait in December of 1577 had been based upon after the events: upon the course which he actually travelled, narratives written and dispositions made when he returned a national hero. The first document found, consisting of three pages, two of which are reproduced in facsimile in this article, is the draft plan of the voyage which subsequently took shape as a circumnavigation of the world. This document gives a list of the promoters of the voyage, the Lord High Admiral (the Earl of Lincoln), Leicester, Walsingham, Hatton, Sir William Winter, George Winter, John Hawkins and Francis Drake. The second document is the report made by John Winter on the 2nd of June, 1579, the day he reached England, nearly eight months after losing sight of Drake in the South Sea, the second page of which contains the plan to be followed, revealing that the ships are to go and return by Magellan's strait, that unknown shores not in the possession of and Christain Prince are to be visited, and that, if it seems to be advisable to Francis Drake, the voyage is to be extended to 30 degrees, while its duration is to be thirteen months. Drake's circumnavigation of the globe began amidst political and religious upheaval in Europe, in 1577. The voyage was so far ahead of its time that another 200 years would pass before the eighteenth-century explorers of record reached the northwest coast of North America. Drake's secret voyage, the exploration of the Pacific Northwest in hopes of finding the fabled Northwest Passage to eastern trade routes, and to establish a British colony in the New World, was hidden under a "cloak of secrecy" due to Drake's complicated relationship with Queen Elizabeth and England's precarious political situation with Spain. One of 16th-century England's most daring adventurers, Drake sailed all the way to Alaska, much farther than anyone had envisioned, thereby rewriting the history of exploration in North America. Surviving the dangers of mutiny, the lack of knowledge about wind and current, and the arduous physical challenges faced every day, Drake earns his reputation as "one of the greatest mariners that sail[ed] the seas, both as a navigator and as a commander," feared by his enemies for the "alarming scope of his success." Together with Hondius's portraits of the first two English circumnavigators, Sir Francis Drake and Sir Thomas Cavendish on one plate and a page of explanatory text. Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612), was a Dutch engraver, and cartographer. He is best known for his early maps of the New World and Europe, for re-establishing the reputation of the work of Gerard Mercator, and for his portraits of Francis Drake. He helped establish Amsterdam as the center of cartography in Europe in the 17th century.

Terrestrial Globe/ Pacific Geography. DELAMARCHE, Felix.
A BEAUTIFUL & INTERESTING TABLE GLOBE<br>Globe Terrestre Dresse par Fx. Delamrche Succr. de R. De Vaugondy 1832.
9 ½ inches 24 cm. diameter; 21 inches 53 cm. total height. Single pedestal globe with horizon ring armature & meridian all of wood wear and staining on meridian at point where fits into stand some chipping at extremities else fine; globe with vibrant original color and clear sharp patina; some abrasion & losses mostly in lower and upper extremities; overall very good plus condition.<br /><br />An attractive very capably executed table or desk globe in the distinctive style of the Delamarche firm <i>"the most successful French entrepreneurs in maps and globes"</i> Dekker/ van der Krogt. This was an original work by the son Felix who succeeded his father in the management of the firm in 1817. The globe is geographically up-to-date notably in the South Pacific and Alaska with information from then recent Russian voyages such as Krusenstern's. Related to this at the time the globe appeared and reflected on it Europeans were beginning to differentiate between various regions of the Pacific. These were based on a better understanding of cultural and other differences between the peoples of various areas encountered on these recent voyages. For example in 1831 the French explorer Dumont d'Urville proposed the use of the terms "Micronesia" and "Melanesia" for various parts of the Pacific as distinguished from Polynesia. Printed dashed lines on this globe labeled "Division Oceanique" roughly approximate the three eventually accepted divisions of what is referred to as the South Pacific though the regions are not named on the globe. Delamarche also clearly identifies on the globe the more traditional divisions of the Pacific between "Grand Ocean Boreal" "Grand Ocean Equinoxial" and "Grand Ocean Austral."<br /><br />The Delamarche firm was the first to successfully reach a fairly sizable general market of globe buyers. It accomplished this by reducing the cost of constructing globe stands and other parts while maintaining a high level of quality in the maps of their globes which are cleanly and attractively engraved. Traditional brass meridians were replaced by wooden ones and the horizon rings and armatures supporting the rings were greatly simplified and made from either wood or stiff board. Also the firm generally used simpler single-pedestal stands rather than four-legged designs. Yet as this well-preserved example demonstrates Delamarche's design and materials proved to be very durable.<br /><br />Charles-Francois Delamarche 1740-1817 the founder of the family firm was the successor of the great map and globe-making family the Robert De Vaugondys as is cited in the title of this globe. Delamarche in fact seemed to have cornered the globe market in France by also incorporating the stocks of Jean Fortin and Jean Lattre. Delamarche's son Felix took over the firm upon his father's death and managed it until 1848 when Gosselin succeeded him. The firm continued well into the latter 19th century under yet another Delamarche descendent.<br /><br />Dekker/ Van der Krogt <i>Globes from the Western World</i> pp. 63 74; Dekker E. <i>Globes at Greenwich</i> pp. 321-25; Suarez T. <i>Early Mapping of the Pacific</i> p. 25.

Single pedestal globe with horizon ring armature & meridian all of wood wear and staining on meridian at point where fits into stand some chipping at extremities else fine; globe with vibrant original color and clear sharp patina; some abrasion & losses mostly in lower and upper extremities; overall very good plus condition.<br /><br />An attractive very capably executed table or desk globe in the distinctive style of the Delamarche firm <i>"the most successful French entrepreneurs in maps and globes"</i> Dekker/ van der Krogt. This was an original work by the son Felix who succeeded his father in the management of the firm in 1817. The globe is geographically up-to-date notably in the South Pacific and Alaska with information from then recent Russian voyages such as Krusenstern's. Related to this at the time the globe appeared and reflected on it Europeans were beginning to differentiate between various regions of the Pacific. These were based on a better understanding of cultural and other differences between the peoples of various areas encountered on these recent voyages. For example in 1831 the French explorer Dumont d'Urville proposed the use of the terms "Micronesia" and "Melanesia" for various parts of the Pacific as distinguished from Polynesia. Printed dashed lines on this globe labeled "Division Oceanique" roughly approximate the three eventually accepted divisions of what is referred to as the South Pacific though the regions are not named on the globe. Delamarche also clearly identifies on the globe the more traditional divisions of the Pacific between "Grand Ocean Boreal" "Grand Ocean Equinoxial" and "Grand Ocean Austral."<br /><br />The Delamarche firm was the first to successfully reach a fairly sizable general market of globe buyers. It accomplished this by reducing the cost of constructing globe stands and other parts while maintaining a high level of quality in the maps of their globes which are cleanly and attractively engraved. Traditional brass meridians were replaced by wooden ones and the horizon rings and armatures supporting the rings were greatly simplified and made from either wood or stiff board. Also the firm generally used simpler single-pedestal stands rather than four-legged designs. Yet as this well-preserved example demonstrates Delamarche's design and materials proved to be very durable.<br /><br />Charles-Francois Delamarche 1740-1817 the founder of the family firm was the successor of the great map and globe-making family the Robert De Vaugondys as is cited in the title of this globe. Delamarche in fact seemed to have cornered the globe market in France by also incorporating the stocks of Jean Fortin and Jean Lattre. Delamarche's son Felix took over the firm upon his father's death and managed it until 1848 when Gosselin succeeded him. The firm continued well into the latter 19th century under yet another Delamarche descendent.<br /><br />Dekker/ Van der Krogt <i>Globes from the Western World</i> pp. 63 74; Dekker E. <i>Globes at Greenwich</i> pp. 321-25; Suarez T. <i>Early Mapping of the Pacific</i> p. 25. books
