John Tallis 7 November 1817 3 June 1876 was an English cartographic publisher. His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape.

Best.-Nr. 14009Without place or date but with reference to 'George Salmond Writer Glasgow'. Early nineteenth-century. 2pp. 4to. On leaf untidily torn from an album resulting in a ragged edge with minor loss of text a few parts of words. On aged and chipped paper. The document is headed 'Forgery of the Commercial Bank of Scotlands Guinea Note' and begins: As a few off these Forged Notes have made their appearance in Glasgow e following directions are given to enable the public to distinguish the forged from the genuine Notes.' A detailed description follows with small illustrations given of the shapes of the letter 'B' in forgery and genuine note with other illustrations of a thistle both with and 'without prickles'. The document ends: 'It is requested that if any of these forged Notes are presented the same and those offering them may be detained and proceeded with according to the Law and that notice may be immediately sent to George Salmond Writer Glasgow who will pay the expenses and liberally remunerate those giving any information which may be of Service or may lead to Conviction of offenders.' No other copy traced either on COPAC or WorldCat. The Scottish guinea note was introduced in 1758 and discontinued in 1828. The book 'Rambling Recollections of Old Glasgow' by 'Nestor' contains a reference to 'Mr. George Salmond long Procurator-Fiscal at Glasgow' who 'kept an album or rather nigrum containing a collection of forged notes with notices of the results to the persons implicated in their forgery or issue. There seldom was a Circuit in Glasgow where there were not several men or women sentenced to death for such crimes and several expiated their offences on the scaffold'. Salmond was Procurator-Fiscal by 1826 so this item would appear to date from before then. Without place or date, but with reference to 'George Salmond, Writer, Glasgow'. Early nineteenth-century. unknown
