185633583circa 1856- 57. 1856- 57. Very good. - Signature on a piece of vellum approximately 1-3/4 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide clipped from the close of a document. Signed "George Anson" beside his printed title "General / Commander-in-Chief / East Indies". Together with an engraved portrait of Anson 3-3/4 inches high by 2-1/4 inches wide. There is a tiny area of soiling to the portrait's bottom edge. Very good. <p>British army officer George Anson 1797-1857 was promoted to the rank of C in 1853. The following year he was appointed to the command of the Madras Army and in early 1856 became Commander-in-Chief in India. He caused resentment by his bias against the Indian Army and its sepoys. He was quoted as saying that he could never see a sepoy sentry "without turning away in disgust at his unsoldierlike appearance". Anson's appointment coincided with the tensions leading up to the Indian Mutiny of 1857. In May 1857 he sent troops to secure the arsenals in the Punjab. He intended to join the Meerut Brigade and to press on to retake Delhi but four days into the march he died of cholera at the age of 59. circa [1856- 57]. hardcover

1842M2ACVI942UQXLondon: Thomas McLean 1842. Contemporary half calf with cloth sides gold tooled title on front cover. Large folio 545 x 375 cm. With 6 hand coloured lithograph plates and a lithographed title. First and only edition of an ethnographic study of native Indian people by William Tayler 1808-1892 who was at that time Acting Salt Agent of the Central Division of Cuttack for the East India Company. He dedicated his work to "Lady William Bentinck" born Lady Mary Acheson 1809-1850 who was the wife of the Governor-General of India. The illustrations were drawn by Tayler himself who was an amateur artist and drew much of the Indian daily life that he encountered. He selected the present 6 drawings to be published and had them lithographed by J. Bouvier. The first 3 plates not only show the ways of Indian people but even more so the luxurious life of the English in India. The first plate The Young Civilian's Toilet shows a young man relaxing while being treated by several servants who are named Anglo-Indians. The room is strewn with objects of leisure. The next 2 plates The Young Ladies Toilet & The Breakfast show equal scenes. The other 3 plates are more ethnographic in nature showing native Indians in their everyday life: Women grinding at the mill; the Sunyasees Sannyasis & The village barber. Tayler later became a controversial figure for his excessively harsh oppression of Indian people when he was the commissioner of Patna.Spine and covers slightly worn pages a little frayed some foxing on the text pages.

This was an India dominated by the East India Company the British joint-stock company that came to rule large areas of India with its private armies exercising military power and seizing administrative functions. Formed in the early 1600s to compete with the Dutch for trade and commerce in the East the company rose to account for half of the world's trade at one point. Company rule in India lasted until 1858 when following the Indian Rebellion of 1857 the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown's assuming direct control of the Indian subcontinent in the form of the new British Raj. The company was dissolved in 1874 as a result of the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act passed one year earlier as the Government of India Act had by then rendered it vestigial powerless and obsolete. The official government machinery of British India assumed the East India Company's governmental functions and absorbed its navy and its armies in 1858. Wikipedia 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".
