This original - with hand-colored borders- map of Tibet, Mongolia, and Manchuria is an example of the intricate work produced by John Tallis & Company, who were known for their detailed and artistic maps in the mid-19th century. **The Maker - John Tallis & Company:** Tallis maps were distinctive for their ornamental borders and detailed vignettes. They often contained illustrations that provided a snapshot of the culture, geography, and significant landmarks of the region they represented. **The Map - Tibet, Mongolia, and Manchuria:** This map would have represented the regions of Central and East Asia, areas of great interest during the British Empire's expansion, though not directly controlled by the British. They would be significant for trade routes, exploration, and for the British understanding of global geography. **The Countries:** - **Tibet**: Known for its unique cultural heritage and as the home of Tibetan Buddhism, it's a region of high plateaus and significant religious landmarks. - **Mongolia**: Characterized by its vast steppes and as the homeland of the Mongol hordes that once conquered much of the known world. - **Manchuria**: Rich in natural resources, it has been a region contested by various powers due to its strategic importance. **The Tallis Series:** "The British Colonies" by Robert Montgomery Martin was intended to educate and inform the British public about the wide-reaching impact of the British Empire and to provide detailed information about regions that were important for British interests. While Tibet, Mongolia, and Manchuria were not British colonies, their inclusion in the series suggests a British interest in the wider geopolitical landscape of Asia. Collectors and enthusiasts today value these maps for their beauty, historical significance, and the insight they provide into the British perspective of the world during the era of their greatest colonial expansion. More details on the insets: The insets on this map are detailed illustrations depicting significant landmarks and cultural representations of Tibet, Mongolia, and Manchuria. They were a common feature in the Tallis maps, intended to provide a visual narrative to accompany the geographic information. Here's a description of the insets: 1. **Leh, Little Tibet**: A panoramic view of the cityscape of Leh, the capital of Ladakh in the region historically known as Little Tibet. The architecture is clearly influenced by Tibetan style, with multi-story white-washed buildings tightly packed together against a backdrop of rugged mountains. 2. **Chinese Wall**: This vignette depicts a section of the Great Wall of China, showcasing its massive fortifications and watchtowers. The wall snakes...

This map, attributed to John Tallis and featuring the work of Robert Montgomery Martin, is part of a series created for the publication "The British Colonies." John Tallis & Company was known for its detailed and decorative maps in the mid-19th century, often including elaborate margins and vignettes that offer insight into the culture, landscape, and history of the region depicted. The map shows the regions of Cabul (an older spelling of Kabul, Afghanistan), the Punjab (a region of northern India and eastern Pakistan), and Beloochistan (an alternative spelling of Balochistan, a region in southwestern Pakistan). The illustrated margins are typical of Tallis maps, adorned with decorative elements and scenes that are likely representations of local landmarks, people, and ways of life. The vignettes are particularly interesting as they serve a dual purpose: they are ornamental and informative. They provide a visual narrative about the regions, complementing the geographical information with human interest. The scenes may depict local figures, architecture, landscapes, and activities that were thought to be characteristic of the area at the time. John Tallis maps...

The two images for sale are intricate illustrations of various species of parrots, rendered in a style that's characteristic of the 19th-century scientific prints. They are labeled in German with both common and scientific names, and appear to be plates from 'Naturgeschichte der Vögel' by Dr. A. B. Reichenbach, published in 1855. First Image Description 1. **Swindern's Lovebird (Swindern's Sperlingspapagei - Psittacula Swindernianus):** This small parrot sports a leaf-green body with a yellowish-green collar and a black chin.
