About this Item
Description:
25.5 x 32 cm. Original outline colour. Double page steel engraved map, accompanied by vignette scenes of the port of Belise, the volcano of Isalco and the Great Square of Antigua in Guatemala. Decorative scrolling and title cartouche around the edges of the image. Light vertical shadow line at centre from original fold but generally very good. Tightly cropped at the top, not affecting the map itself. For the Great Exhibition in 1851 John Tallis (1817-1876) worked with engraver John Rapkin (1815-1876) to publish the 'Illustrated World Atlas', whose maps were later re-issued by the London Printing and Publishing Company under the Tallis imprint. Their maps are prized for their wonderful steel-engraved vignettes showing the peoples, customs, architecture, landmarks, flora, and fauna of each country. Seller Inventory # 53713
