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".

78680A collection of letters written by pioneering Oklahoma attorneys C.O. Blake and Ernest Blake to their parents between 1884 and 1906.<br /> <br /> In a letter from Indianapolis dated January 12 1884 C.O. Blake 1860–1924 laments the struggle he was having setting up a legal practice: “Being in an office having my shingle out and some stationary printed looks a good deal of being a lawyer with a practice…sometimes I think I’ll just let the law go and go at something else to seek fame and bread and butter.â€<br /> <br /> Despite what seemed like an inauspicious start to his legal career Blake became a successful attorney and pillar of his community. Soon after this letter he relocated temporarily to Coldwater Kansas where he was elected Comanche County attorney on the Republican ticket. In a letter dated October 6 1885 he wrote to his parents about the election: “Got 30 out of 35 delegates. How is that for high. I think I will have no trouble to get elected.â€<br /> <br /> In 1890 he relocated to El Reno Oklahoma where he and his brother Ernest E. Blake established the law firm Blake and Blake. He soon became the railroad attorney for the Rock Island Lines in Oklahoma. Much of the expansion of Rock Island in the Southwest is credited to his ability to keep the railroad in good standing with the State Corporation. He also served on several civic organizations and became president of the board of regents for Oklahoma University having received his appointment from Governor Barnes.<br /> <br /> Blake wrote from the Hotel Frantz in Enid Oklahoma to his mother on April 27 1903 about his work for the railroad: “I have been very busy. I was here all last week and will have to be here a good part of this week. I tried a case last week for running over a boy of 13 and cutting off his leg and won it. I then tried a case for killing a man and the jury came in today with a verdict for $2000 but I think I will be able to get away from it all right as the evidence did not entitle the plaintiff to recover anything. The man was himself to blame. I tried another today where the plaintiff claims he was crippled in alighting from a train and the jury is still out. You can see it has been a strenuous ten days.â€<br /> <br /> Ernest Blake’s letters concern family matters. A long letter from C.O.’s wife Cora includes information about a new massage-based medical treatment she was receiving from a “vital healer†for problems with her hip: “He said it was not out of place but held too tightly in its place by reason of the muscles being so contracted and set.â€<br /> <br /> The Blake’s are descended from a long line of notable ancestors. One was the captain of the artillery who captured Aaron Burr in his expedition to Mexico; another was Israel Putnam leader of the Green Mountain Boys; and their great-great-grandfather was the organizer and leader of the Boston Tea Party.<br /> <br /> In total this collection of letters includes: nine complete letters and a partial letter from C.O.; eight letters and short notes from Ernest to his parents; two letters from others and a death announcement for Fremont Smith; a four-page letter from Cora Blake C.O.’s wife to his mother; and six pages of apparently incomplete letters by unknown authors. unknown
