Winkles and engravings by E. Radclyffe. Plate Size: 24.5 cm x 35 cm. Sheet Size: 27.3 cm x 37.3 cm. Vintage 19th century map in very good condition. Published in the Illustrated Atlas And Modern History Of The World Geographical Political Commercial & Statistical Edited By R. Montgomery Martin. Two beautiful maps of the Channel Islands from the Victorian Era. In the upper-most map is Guernsey with its major towns such as Braye du Valle and St Peter's Port shown. The potentially hazardous coastline is depicted. A small inset box contains an overall miniature map of the Channel Islands including Alderney and The Caskets and showing the coast of France. In the lower map is Jersey with its major towns such as St Helier shown. Again the potentially dangerous shallow shoreline is depicted pictorially. Relief is depicted through hachuring and the rivers are also included. 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".

Once likely bound in with other pamphlets the book is disbound with the cover page and last page detached. 14 pages. The pages are slightly soiled and the pamphlet was folded twice horizontally. Good.</p><p>Exceedingly RARE. First only edition.</p><p>On December 11 1854 The Times of London editorialized: "We felt it our duty a few days ago to call attention to the fact that if disease or wounds were to incapacitate Lord Raglan for continuing his labours in the Crimea the command of our army would devolve upon Sir Richard England and we suggested that such a change ought by all means to be provided against." The Times goes on to forcefully attack England for his actions as commander of the Scinde field force during the Afghan wars in 1842. "In the beginning of the year 1842 Sir Richard England commanded the Scinde field force. It was extremely important to reinforce General Nott at Candahar where he was in want of men money and ammunition. Near the village of Hykulzye at the foot of the Bolan Pass General England was encountered by some Asiatic troops and repulsed with the loss of nearly 100 killed and wounded. It was of the utmost importance that he should advance or at any rate not retreat for General Nott had written to him that either halting or retiring would have the worst effect throughout Afghanistan and would be more injurious to his present position than 20000 of the enemy in the field. But General England did retreat. His troops were eager to renew the attack; Colonel Stacy the political agent who accompanied him undertook to storm the position with a hundred or even eighty men - thrice he begged for permission and thrice he was refused. General England retired to Quettah and there began to intrench himself leaving Nott the honour of England and the destinies of India to their fate. The defences before which he retreated were not formidable. They were thrown up in a few hours and when afterwards taken some of our officers rode over them without knowing where they were. General England wrote that the enemy were a hundred to one stronger than any one expected though they were fewer than he was informed that they would be. Finally he strove to throw the blame on the Sepoys whom he would not allow to renew the attack. 'The seeming unwillingness of England' says Mr. Kaye 'to redeem his character by a vigorous movement in advance irritated General Nott more than the disaster itself.'"</p><p>In this letter to his brother-in-law A.F.W. Montagu England describes his actions at that time in great detail and proffers a defense of them. Following his letter of December 28 1854 from Sebastopol are published letters written in 1842 defending him from Major-General Charles Napier the Governor General of India Lord Ellenborough and a letter from his Secretary T.H. Maddock. Finally there is an 1855 letter praising England from General Sir George De Lacy Evans.</p><p>The British army officer General Sir Richard England 1793-1883 was born at Fort Detroit at a time when it was part of Upper Canada. In 1841 he took command of the Bombay Army division and was dispatched to the relief of Colonel Palmer at Ghuznee and General Nott at Kandahar. In 1854 he was placed in command of the 3rd Division in the Crimean war.</p> London, 1855. paperback
