18512020AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 24.2 cm x 35.4 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".

154049324Paris: F. Gryphius 1540. Two parts in one volume 16mo in 8s. 199 1 blank; 136 16 indexff. "Novvm testamentum" in cartouche vignette at title-page along with Gryphius' griffin device Renouard 413; 90 three-quarter page including repeats and 15 smaller woodcut illustrations including repeats; 21 historiated initials and woodcut lettrines; cartouche vignettes with book titles; printed marginalia; half-title for the second part Epistles and the Book of Revelation. Text not divided into verses; occasional quotations in Greek. Later vellum over boards; manuscript title at the spine faded; speckled paper endleaves; edges stained red. Light dampstain at bottom margins extending up into text and gutter at the later leaves; small puncture at leaf 140 resulting in slight loss of text. A good complete copy of a very scarce illustrated New Testament with clean woodcut illustrations throughout.<br /> <br /> Collation: a-z8 &8 Aa8 A-T7 blank leaf 200; lacks final blank T8.<br /> <br /> Third Gryphius New Testament in 16mo format. Arranged in two parts with the Epistles and the Book of Revelation presented separately it reproduces the Vulgate text edited by Robert I Estienne for his Latin Bible edition of 1532. While some of the woodcuts appear in Gryphius' complete octavo Bible of 1541 this separate Testament is even more lavishly illustrated. Based upon Mortimer's description of the 1541 Bible we can ascertain that at least some of the Apocalypse woodcuts in the present volume are based on Holbein while most of the other illustrations whose blocks had been completed by 1539 "are relatively independent of earlier sets" Mortimer.<br /> <br /> An important shift in Bible illustration occured in the Netherlands in the late 1520s as printers began to focus on copiously illustrated small format editions of the New Testament to better explain the text and assist private devotion. The subtitle in our volume "cum ad ueritatem historiae tum ad uenustatem singulari artificio expressis" with the truth of history as well as beauty expressed by a singular artifice is clearly suggestive of this shift. Adopting this new format François Gryphius became the "first Paris printer to illustrate a Bible in the Renaissance style" Johnson quoted in Mortimer. These illustrations first appeared in the Acts of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation in Gryphius' pocket New Testament edition of 1537 Novum Testamentum additis picturis in Acta Apost. et Apocalipsin quibus miracula et visiones exprimuntur The New Testament with added illustrations in the Acts of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation depicting miracles and visions. Subsequent editions would include an expanding suite of woodcuts and were published at Paris by Gryphius under the present title in 1539 1540 1541 and 1542; Antwerp editions appeared in 1542 and 1545. The suite of illustrations in the present work is identical in placement and inventory with the data cited by Mortimer for the 1541 edition 90 cuts by repetition of 58 blocks from the larger set and 15 cuts by repetition of 6 small blocks and confirmed by inspection of the digitized version of the 1541 edition at the Bibliothèque de la Ville de Lyon. The only notable differences in graphic materials between the two editions appears occasionally in the selection of woodcut initials; the later edition also has several more unset initials indicated by guide letters than appear in our 1540 edition. <br /> <br /> All editions are quite scarce with only a handful of copies of each surviving.<br /> <br /> Provenance and annotations: Old entries at paste-down and front endleaf of George Woodhouse with his note about prior provenance dated May 1875; E. Holwell noting "This curious edition published in A.D. 1540" References: Cf. Deleveau & Hillard Bibles imprimées Paris 1539 and 1542; Antwerp 1542; Le Long/Masch 2.3 1783 p.279 Paris ed. 1542; R.
