18512004AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 23.9 cm x 34.3 cm. Sheet Size: 27.5 cm x 37.4 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".

Catalogue of the Exhibits presented by the Commission with a short sketch of its organization and labors by the Directing Engineer Julio Alvarado C. E. Mexico 1895. p 32 First and only edition.<br /><br />Rare atlas of photographs of the map of the region around Puebla southwest of Mexico City. Warren Heckrotte describes the atlas and the enterprise that produced it: "The Comision Geografica-Explordora was established by a decree of December 13 1877. It was directed to prepare a map of the Republic with all the scientific accuracy desirable. The region around the town of Puebla southwest of Mexico City was the first effort of the Commission. The surveying was done by astronomical determinations and triangulation. Between 1879 and 1882 the planned nine sheets lithographed in Mexico City were issued at a scale of 1:20000. Elevations are shown by contour lines. For this atlas the sheets were issued as photographs the maps reduced in scale to 1:50000. A photographic edition at the scale of 1:100000 was also issued. Other areas of the country were mapped. The ultimate goal was to produce a map of the country at a scale of 1:100000 in 1100 sheets. At the time the Commission closed shop in 1914 a little over 200 sheets had been completed. This mode of production suggests that a small number of these atlases were produced." Indeed OCLC/WorldCat locates only two copies at the University of California Berkeley and Dartmouth College.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Some soiling to covers; expertly rebacked by Sandra Good; new endpapers; internally fine or nearly so a bit of darkening to margins of mounts.
