This was an India dominated by the East India Company the British joint-stock company that came to rule large areas of India with its private armies exercising military power and seizing administrative functions. Formed in the early 1600s to compete with the Dutch for trade and commerce in the East the company rose to account for half of the world's trade at one point. Company rule in India lasted until 1858 when following the Indian Rebellion of 1857 the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown's assuming direct control of the Indian subcontinent in the form of the new British Raj. The company was dissolved in 1874 as a result of the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act passed one year earlier as the Government of India Act had by then rendered it vestigial powerless and obsolete. The official government machinery of British India assumed the East India Company's governmental functions and absorbed its navy and its armies in 1858. Wikipedia 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".

1961réf. 232281961. Southern India photo album documenting an international Christian missionary medical group around Vellore Karigiri Katpadi and Kanchipuram in 1961 many photographs captioned and identify individuals. The album showcases how missionary labor operated after the end of British rule through hospitals training schools religious ceremony and organized visits into village and temple spaces. Compiled by a French speaking participant within an international Christian medical network the album centers on institutions linked to Christian Medical College and Hospital Vellore where foreign and Indian personnel worked inside a system first developed under colonial era Protestant missions and then carried forward in postcolonial India through education nursing public health and evangelical presence. Photo archive of 110 Silver gelatin photographs mounted in a leather bound album most photos measure 3" x 4" album measures 9" x 12" Vellore Karigiri Katpadi Polambakkam and Kanchipuram Tamil Nadu dated by captions to 1961. Many identified individuals. Captioned pages identify "Vellore CMCH" "Christian Medical College and Hospital Vellore" and a "Soirée de remise du voile aux infirmières étudiantes de dernière année Sept. 61" showing large indoor assemblies of Indian nursing students in uniform at a veil ceremony for final year nurses. Other pages name hospital streets a guest house pavilion postman colleagues and an international group including participants identified by nationality including Argentina Belgium Venezuela Australia Thailand the United States England and South India. The album also moves beyond the hospital into the surrounding countryside and sacred landscape with rice cultivation and field irrigation at Karigiri village huts pastoral scenes cattle and goats potters fuel collection pigs and ducks a cyclist returning from Sunday mass the cathedral at Katpadi and multiple views of temples and priests at Kanchipuram. Handwritten French captions guide the viewer through these scenes including "inner courtyard of a temple" "Hindu priest explaining a point of his religion" "signing the temple guest book and giving the offering" and observations of sculpture yogis village labor and local children. The 19th to early 20th century saw an increase in Protestant missionary organizations in India with schools hospitals and women's medical training programs as response both to evangelical ambition and to colonial inequalities in health care access. By 1961 India was politically independent yet this album shows how missionary medicine still organized relations between Western visitors Indian Christian institutions and local Tamil communities. Overall very good condition. A strong record of postcolonial missionary medicine in southern India showing how colonial religious systems survived through healthcare education and cross cultural authority rather than formal imperial rule alone. unknown
