18512008AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 32.7 cm x 24.9 cm. Sheet Size: 37.4 cm x 27.3 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".

1878BOOKS006180xxiv392 pages with indexes. Quarto 11 1/4" x 8 1/4" bound in brown cloth with brown label in gilt lettering to spine. Edited by Justo Zaragoza. First edition.<br /><br />Juan Súarez de Peralta was in an advantageous position to assemble information regarding the first contact between Indians and Spaniards in Mexico. Born in Mexico in 1537 he was the son of Juan Suarez whose sister Catalina had been the first wife of Hernando Cortes. His education hardly went beyond the basics of grammar but he developed his knowledge by reading and by personal contact with those who had participated in the Conquest. He lived in Mexico until 1579 when he traveled to Spain. He remained there at least until 1589 the year in which he completed the <i>Tratado del descubrimiento de las Indias</i>. He later returned to Mexico. The date and place of his death are unknown. The complete title of Suarez de Peralta's work give an adequate description of its contents: Tratado del descubrimiento de las Indias y su conquista y los ritos y sacrificios y costumbres de los Indios; y de los virreyes y gobernadores que las han gobernado especialmente en la Nueva Espana y del suceso del Marques del Valle Segundo Don Martin Cortes: del rebellion que se le impute y de las justicias y muertes que hizieron en Mexico los jueces comisarios que para ello fueron por su Majestad y del rompimiento de los ingleses y del principio que tuvo Francisco Kraque para ser declarado enemigo. It contains information on the history religion and customs of the Indians of central Mexico derived largely from Oviedo Motolina Sahagun and Las Casas. When Justo Zargoza 1833-1896 published the work for the first time 1878 he shortened the title to <i>Noticias Históricas de la Nueva España</i>. It was republished in Mexico in 1949 with an introduction by Federico Gomez de Orozco.

She Was Elected Member Of Learned Societies In Various Parts Of The World; And Served As A Special Delegate Or Representative To International Expositions. It Was However As An Observer And Especially As A Writer That Wright Gained Her Fame. Her Books Were Written About Brazil Bolivia Chile Peru And Mexico. These Volumes Were Generous Octavos Well Illustrated And Filled With Facts Gathered Chiefly From Authoritative Sources Or Confirmed By Her Own Observations. In 1895 With Her Daughter Ida Dent Wright For Her Sole Companion She Went To Mexico. Secretary Of Foreign Affairs Ignacio Mariscal And President Porfirio Díaz Were Already Her Warm Admirers And It Was To Them She Went With Her Plans. Both These Executives Furnished Her With Letters To Every Governor In Mexico And The President Ordered Not Only A Military Escort Wherever Needed But That Special Trains And Steamboat Facilities Should Be Given Her Throughout The Country. Then She Spent A Year In Thoroughly Inspecting And Studying The Country. Besides Thousands Of Miles Of Railway And Steamboat Traveling Wright And Her Daughter Went Nearly 900 Miles 1400 Km In Mountain Regions On Mules Attended By Military Escort And Penetrating Regions Where None But Indigenous Women Had Been Seen Previously. The Result Of Her Experiences Was Put In A Large Illustrated Book On Mexico Which Was The Most Comprehensive And Beautiful Book On Mexico Ever Written In Any Language And Which Was Ordered In Advance By 8000 Mexican Officials. <br/> <br/> J.
