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".

194874534Los Angeles: The Author 1948. Original typescript. Probably one of two copies. Quarto. 21 5 bibliography leaves rectos only plus two folding maps "Map of Venezuelan Guayana" and "Mapa-Croquis Geologico de la Gran Sabana". Original full black morocco with gilt cover lettering black endpapers. Spine rubbed and with one-inch pieces missing from top and bottom. Very clean copy in a tight if a bit abraded original binding.Although we never learn who commissioned Rene Engel to conduct this survey we can admire it's professionalism. Engel gives in depth information about the geography geology and mining history of then Venezuelan Guayana. Gauyana achieved statehood in 1966. The area has a long history of gold and diamond mining with the biggest gold mines being near the Calloa lode which he considered a bit played out for methods of the time. Indeed the first map in this book actually a photograph of a map has marked on it the various diamond and gold mines and prospects marked on the map. His conclusion is as follows "After summing up the evidence in an objective way the writer of of the opinion that the project as outline above is fully justified by the probable returns which would accrue from the expansion of the Eastern Venezuelan Guayana mining region into its unknown West." Rene Engel a French national received his master of science degree at the University of Paris in 1912. He sserved with distinction in the French Army during WWI and in 1920 emigrated to the U.S. and by 1925 was enrolled as a graduate student at Stanford. Due to his connections he finished his PhD at the California Institute of Technology in 1935. He served his new hoe in WWII in the Philippines and was captured and imprisoned at the infamous Santo Tomas camp. In the late 50s he was employed at the Naval Ordnance Test Station at China Like in California's Mojave Desert. He became interest in small submersibles. He was instrumental in bringing Picard’s deep-diving vehicle Trieste to this country and in bringing Jacques Cousteau’s diving saucer to San Clemente Island and participated personally in several dives.
