Wray and engravings by J.b Allen. Plate Size: 30.5 cm x 25.3 cm. Sheet Size: 37.3 cm x 27.4 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. Beautiful map of Greece from the Victorian era. The marvelous vignettes may harken back to more ancient times but this was Greece of the mid-19th Century a recently independent modern kingdom the result of a successful war of independence in the 1820s waged by Greek revolutionaries against the Ottoman Empire that had ruled Greece for hundreds of years. The Turkish territory in the Blakans can still be seen near to the north as the Greek frontier runs across from the Gulf of Arta to the Gulf of Volo. The Greek regions are listed as Livadia and in the Peloponnese peninsula Morea. The large island Negropont is also shown. The many islands off the mainland are also included: islands such as; Andro; Tino; Naxia; Santorini; Milo; Cerigo; Zante and; Cephalonia to name but a few. The names of famous cities such as Corinth Athens and Sparta are also included on the map. The rugged and mountainous topography of the region is depicted through hachuring. The major rivers including the Aspropotamo Achelous are also shown on the map. A scale-bar is shown near the map's lower decorative border. 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".

The material collected by the French scientists artists and officers-surveyors was processed and published in France between 1831 and 1838 in four volumes and a large Atlas by the Natural Sciences Section of the Expedition as well as three large-format volumes prepared by the Architecture and Sculpture Section. These include accounts of the journeys scores of maps and a vast array of data regarding the conditions in the region as well as the state of ancient and more recent remains. Pride of place among the French achievements was the Map of the Moreas 1832. Despite its success wealth of material and enormous value for science and for the country the work of the French Scientific Expedition has not been given the recognition it deserves and has remained somewhat hidden from the view of the wider public.</p><p>The current edition includes original contributions by over 25 Greek and French researchers from different fields all with expertise on the Peloponnese and aims at giving a wider readership the opportunity to learn more about the illustrative and cartographic documentation various previously unpublished maps and other accounts by members of the Expedition. It consists of three parts which correspond to the Natural Sciences Section Part I printed the Architecture & Sculpture Section and the Archaeology Section Part II forthcoming Botany and Zoology Section Part III forthcoming of the Expedition.
