Title: Hand-Colored Map of Germany by J. Tallis, ca. 1850
This beautifully hand-colored map of Germany, published by John Tallis & Co. around 1850, provides a comprehensive depiction of Germany's political divisions during the mid-19th century. The map is intricately engraved with notable regions outlined in different colors to distinguish political boundaries. Rich in detail, it highlights major cities, towns, and geographical features throughout the country.
The map features decorative vignettes of key German landmarks and cities, including views of Cologne on the Rhine, Dresden, Coburg, and the Palace of the Grand Dukes in Mecklenburg Schwerin. An engraved portrait of Frederick the Great is also included, adding a historical dimension to the map. The border is adorned with elaborate floral and emblematic motifs, contributing to its artistic value.
John Tallis & Co. was known for producing highly decorative and visually engaging maps during the 19th century, often with elaborate embellishments and illustrations that made the maps both informative and attractive.
