1851Best.-Nr. 2007AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 24.7 cm x 33.8 cm. Sheet Size: 27.4 cm x 37.5 cm. Vintage 19th century map in very good condition. 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. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park London from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century and it was a much anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert husband of the reigning monarch Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time including Charles Darwin Samuel Colt members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".

E’ considerato con Hume e Gibbon uno dei tre grandi storici inglesi del XVIII° secolo. Figlio di un ministro presbiteriano e risiedette a lungo a Gladsmuir nell’East Lothian (1743-59). Dopo aver preso parte alle rivolte contro i giacobiti che infiammarono la Scozia negli anni quaranta del settecento. Nel 1751 divenne capo del partito moderato in seno all’assemblea generale della Chiesa scozzese. Iniziò anche ad interessarsi attivamente alla storiografia pubblicando varie opere che ottennero subito un grande successo. Nel 1777 pubblicò il primo volume della History of America ma i moti che precedettero lo scoppio della Rivoluzione Americana lo indussero a rinunciare temporaneamente a terminare l’opera che fu completata solo posteriormente. “Dans cette histoire les faits de la conquête du Mexique et du Pérou y sont éclaircis et exposés avec une impartialité à laquelle les Espagnols eux-mêmes se plurent à rendre hommage, bien qu’ils n’y fussent pas ménagés” P. Larousse. Very good copy.
