1850c J. & F. Tallis, Western Hemisphere Map, Fine Hand Color, Framed

About the Item

Western Hemisphere - America Framed in relatively modern gilt frame and matting. Tallis' decorative maps provided up-to-date geographical knowledge, but also used vignette views within the map's design to show the native people and their occupations, cities and points of interest. The maps hark back to a cartographic tradition from the Dutch mapmakers of the seventeenth century with finely engraved decorative borders. The maps were drawn and engraved by John Rapkin with views drawn and engraved by a number of prominent artists. The maps were issued as a complete volume from 1851 until about 1865.
