Historical and Antique Maps.

John Tallis and Company - Engraver J. Rapkin.

John Tallis (1815 or 1816 – 3 June 1876) was an English cartographic publisher.

His company, John Tallis and Company, published views, maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851.
Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842;
the business moved to Smithfield in 1846, and was dissolved in 1849.
From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company.
Beginning in 1851, John Tallis & Co. issued their Illustrated Atlas,
which contained maps of all parts of the world.
These are among the most popular nineteenth century maps available to the collector.
The maps are very detailed, with copious topographical and political information
presented with excellent clarity.
However, it is for their decorative borders and the small, finely engraved vignettes
of local scenes that these maps are particularly known and enjoyed.

	Title: Northumberland. Description: Map of Northumberland, circa 1836. Vignette of Alnwick Castle, bottom right. Type: Colour Engraving - Decorative steel engraved antique map. The Moule county maps were unusual for the period in that they were highly decorative. The scientific rationality of the late 18th & early 19th century had seen a move away from the flamboyance of earlier map making; emphasising instead a greater desire for accuracy and detail. Thomas Moule, like many of his contemporaries, however, was drawn to a more simplistic, pre-industrial age. This was clearly reflected in his maps with their neo-Gothic borders, heraldic shields and views of ancient buildings; ironically, the Moule maps issued later in the 1840s were amongst the first to show the newly constructed railways. This highly decorative antique county map of Northumberland has been embellished with armorials and other features. It was first published in 1836 and subsequent editions were published until 1842. This map includes railways and has been coloured by hand. Publisher: George Virtue 1836 and the James Barclay's Complete and Universal Dictionary, about 1841, with railways depicted. Drawn By: Thomas Moule Engraver: I Dower. Framed: 24cm x 31cm. Condition: Very Good, slight tear bottom right.
