Ornate Cartography of Colonial Grandeur: The West India Islands around 1851
Located in Langweer, NL
This map is a part of John Tallis's series of maps, known for their detailed and ornamental style. John Tallis & Company, mentioned in the caption, was an English cartographic publisher active during the 19th century. The company was renowned for its detailed maps of countries and regions around the world, often including intricate border decorations, vignettes, and historically informative illustrations. The map itself is a mid-19th-century depiction of the West Indies, which is a region of the North Atlantic Ocean in the Caribbean that consists of the island countries and surrounding waters of three major archipelagos: the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles, and the Lucayan Archipelago. The detail on the map is quite accurate for its time, showing not only the geography but also marking important cities and ports, which would have been vital information during the era of British colonialism. Robert Montgomery Martin, whose work is cited here, was a British author and colonial administrator, and his writings included comprehensive descriptions of the British colonies during the peak of the British Empire. His work was often used as the textual accompaniment to the maps produced by John Tallis. The Tallis maps are characterized by their vignettes that illustrate local scenes, notable features, or important figures, which can be seen in the margins of the map. These vignettes are valuable for giving cultural and social context to the geographical information presented. It's not just a map but a piece of historical documentation that reflects the interests and perspectives of the British during the time it was made. The presence of these artistic elements makes Tallis maps not just navigational tools but also historical artifacts and works of art. The map includes islands such as Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (containing Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico, and various smaller islands of the Lesser Antilles, amongst others. The economic, geopolitical, and social conditions of these countries during the era when this map was made were heavily influenced by colonial powers, primarily by the empires of Europe, including the British Empire. The screenshots from the map show various detailed sections of the West India Islands and surrounding areas, which include artistic elements and cartographic details typical of John Tallis maps...

Antique and Vintage Collectibles and Curiosities for Sale

Antique and vintage collectibles and curiosities can bring whimsy and wonder to any interior. 

Decorating with old scientific instruments, historical memorabilia and vintage musical instruments, as well as other authentic collectibles and curiosities that can be found on 1stDibs, presents an opportunity to create a unique, natural history museum-like atmosphere in your home that can provoke conversation as often as it pays tribute to how far we’ve come in understanding our world. 

And bringing collectibles and curiosities into your space is actually on trend — Wunderkammern, or curiosity cabinets, were all the rage in Europe during the 1500s and continued to have adherents there and in the U.S. in the following centuries. Today, however, they’re experiencing a real surge in popularity and influencing how many interior designers are furnishing and decorating homes — combining contemporary with antique, scientific with tribal, earthly with extraterrestrial, Les Lalanne tables with Flemish tapestries.

The original Wunderkammern were entire rooms filled with objects demonstrating their owners’ worldly knowledge: A proper one included artificiala or preciosa (objets d’art); naturalia (such as skeletons, shells, minerals); exotica (taxidermy or dried plants); and scientifica (scientific instruments), frequently alongside religious relics and ancient artifacts.

Pay tribute to a history of rich and diverse musical traditions that have taken shape all over the world by decorating your home with a collection of antique and vintage musical instruments — with a little help from strong hanging wire or some wall hooks, vintage brass instruments such as a gong, French horn or trumpet can help elevate a home office or complement the efforts you’ve made to ensure a welcoming vibe in your home’s entryway. Bells or antique wind instruments can add provocative metallic contrasts to dark woods as tabletop decorative objects.  

Create an intriguing focal point with Georgian scientific instruments, such as stick barometers with mahogany cases or lacquered brass telescopes. These items stem from an era named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who ruled England in succession starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign, which lasted until 1837). Just as there was beautiful jewelry produced during the period that today is coveted by collectors, there is much to be found in the collectibles and curiosities realm too.

Wanderlust, nostalgia and a shared love of good design are contributing factors to certain trends in decorating — just as vintage trunks and luggage have reappeared as furniture or home accents in a bedroom or foyer, decorating with globes, maps or nautical objects is similarly rooted in the allure of travel and a penchant for the stylish finishing touch that collectibles bring to our homes.

Find a wide range of antique and vintage collectibles and curiosities on 1stDibs.
