About the Item

Published; John Tallis London, New York, Edinburgh & Dublin. 1851. Drawn and Engraved by J. Rapkin. Artists and Engravers: John Tallis (1817-1876) was a British map publisher.

He began a partnership with a Frederick Tallis, possibly his brother, but their collaboration ended in 1849.
