Description
Decorative steel engraving of a map of the Black Sea, with inset views of Sebastopol and Odesa. There are also vignettes of Constantinople, Sinope and Varna.
Taken from "The illustrated atlas and modern history of the world by John Tallis". The Illustrations after a design by H. Warren and engraved by J.B. Allen. The Map was drawn and engraved by H. Winkcles and published by "The London Printing and Publishing Company".
John Tallis, a London publisher, was one of the most popular cartographers of the 19th Century. He became famous for highly accurate, visually appealing maps that featured extensive vignette views from around the World and ornamental perimeter engraving.
John Rapkin, principal engraver and mapmaker to John Tallis, was renowned for his extraordinary artistic and engraving skills. Between them, they produced many books of travel and exploration.
The London Printing and Publishing Company of London and New York bought the rights to many Tallis maps in 1850 and continued publishing his Illustrated Atlas of the World until the mid 1850s.
John Tallis (1792–1842)
John Tallis and his son John Tallis (1817–1876) were influential English map publishers of the 19th century. The elder Tallis is noted for his rare London Street Views (1838–1840), a detailed series of elevations depicting the city's main commercial streets with remarkable architectural precision. Though he produced only one major atlas, John Tallis Jr. became one of the most recognised and admired cartographic publishers of the Victorian era. His Illustrated Atlas of the World, published for the 1851 Great Exhibition, is considered the last of the great decorative atlases.The maps, engraved by John Rapkin (1813–1899), are known for their ornate borders, vignette views, and detailed geography. Many were first issued in The British Colonies (1849), a forerunner to the atlas. Tallis operated under various imprints, including L. Tallis, Tallis & Co., John Tallis & Company, and the London Printing and Publishing Company, which also issued finely engraved views and portraits featuring his distinctive decorative style. Today, the Illustrated Atlas and its maps are highly sought after by collectors.
