Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Original fold line visible at center. Slight dampstain in top margin. Size 13.5 x 10.5 Inches. This is a rare 1851 map of India drawn and engraved by John Rapkin that appeared in Tallis's Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World . The map and illustrations reflect the recent Anglo-Sikh War (1845 - 1846) and s…how the divisions of the Indian subcontinent soon before the 1857 Mutiny and the inception of the Raj. Company Rule in India The map shows the arrangement of princely states and 'presidencies' (areas directly-ruled by the British East India Company) that ruled over the Indian subcontinent prior to the creation of the British Raj. The illustrations mostly show locations in northern India that are not on the map, such as the Government House (now Raj Bhavan) in Calcutta, the Fortress of Shuhur (otherwise known as Amer or Amber Fort) in Jaipur, and the tomb of Muhammad Shah in Delhi. At bottom-right is an illustration without a caption that shows British soldiers writing on a monument: Moodkee, Ferozeshah, Sobraon. These were sites of pivotal battles in the Anglo-Sikh War, with Sobraon being a decisive British victory which ended the war. Background and Aftermath Until the mid-18th century, the British East India Company (EIC) was similar to the East India Companies of other European powers in that it mostly operated in coastal ports and did not seek to control large portions of territory. That changed when the company expanded its interests in Bengal from a 'factory' (trading post) to gaining the right to collect taxes in Bengal, followed by de facto and eventually de jure rule over Bengal and Bihar. The Battle of Plassey in 1757, an oft-forgotten turning point in world history, gave the British the upper-hand over their competitors in India (particularly the French) and set a precedent of exploiting tensions between local Indian states to expand the power of the EIC. By the time this map was made, the EIC effectively controlled the entire Indian subcontinent, usually through intermediaries, local rulers who had aligned themselves with the company. For instance, in the recent Anglo-Sikh War, Gulab Singh, an important Sikh provincial governor, had remained neutral and, once the conflict had ended, paid the EIC 7.5 million rupees plus an annual indemnity and in exchange was made the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir. His descendants remained loyal to the British and retained the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir until the end of the Raj. Although an autonomous entity, the EIC was increasingly subject to oversight by the British Parliament due to a series of scandals involving corruption and exploitation of the local population. Nevertheless, the company was so profitable and politically powerful that it was difficult to rein in. The conduct and taxes of the EIC irritated Indian landholders, while racial discrimination and a number of social and legal reforms agitated commoners, culminating in the massive rebellion of 1857 - 1858. The uprising began in the ranks of the EIC military itself, among Indian troops known as sepoys, but soon spread to a general social revolt that varied widely by region, religion, and social class. Notably, most of the princely states that had operated with limited autonomy under the EIC remained loyal to it or at least maintained neutrality, including the recently-defeated Sikhs. After the rebellion was suppressed, the EIC was nationalized, and India came under direct rule of the British Crown as the Raj. Publication History and Census This map was part of the well-known Tallis's Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World published in 1851. It was drawn and engraved by John Rapkin and the vignette illustrations were drawn by A.H. Wray and engraved by J.H. Kernot. It is held by several libraries in North America, Great Britain, and in former territories of the British Empire (Australia, Singapore). References: Rumsey 0466.033. OCLC 46783270.

Contact seller4-star sellerGood. Exhibits soiling in all four corners. Blank on verso. Size 14 x 10.5 Inches. This is an 1850 John Tallis map of New South Wales, Australia highlighting the many gold claims peppered throughout the region. The map depicts eastern Australia from the Great Sandy Island south past Sydney to Cape Howe and extends a considerable… distance inland despite the region being only tenuously mapped. Gold claims are marked by dashed lines and highlighted with bright gold colored ink. Beautiful illustrations by H. Warren depicting The Murray, a Xanthorrhaea (a plant endemic to Australia) and the Sydney Cove are also present. The seal of New South Wales is situated in the upper left corner. The map also notes the 1817 John Oxley's 1817 route is traced, along with that of Charles Sturt. The whole has the highly decorative presentation and elaborate border distinctive of Tallis maps. Australian Gold Rush of 1851 Gold was known to be present in Australia prior to 1851, but the intentional suppression of this information by the colonial government of New South Wales prevented all-out gold rushes. When gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill, California, in 1848, causing the California Gold Rush, countless Australians migrated in search of their fortunes. Desirous of maintaining their dwindling work force, the colonial governors rethought their position, and sought approval from the Colonial Office in England to allow the exploitation of the mineral resourcesand alsooffered rewards for the finding of payable gold. This led to the first major Australian gold rush when prospector Edward Hargraves discovered gold at Ophir, near Orange. A series of subsequent discoveries followed, transforming the Australian economy and leading to a rush of new immigration. Publication History This map was drawn and engraved by John Rapkin, with illustrations drawn by H. Warren and engraved by J. Rogers. It was published by John Tallis and Company in 1851.

This is a scarce 1851 example of John Tallis and John Rapkin's 1851 map of Western Australia. It covers southwestern Western Australia from Champion Bay south around Sussex to Doubtful Island Bay. This map records the early se…ttlements of the United Kingdom in the western part of Australia. It notes numerous counties, roadways, rivers, geographical features, and more.
