More about John Tallis Maps

One of the most popular cartographers of the 19th Century, John Tallis, a London publisher, was renowned for the very accurate and visually most attractive maps and views of all world areas during the Victorian Age. His star engraver and map maker was John Rapkin. During the mid 19th Century many books of travel and exploration were published by Tallis, using the extraordinary artistic and engraving skills of John Rapkin. In 1851 Tallis published his famous Illustrated Atlas. We have over the last 10 years obtained original copies of all of the Town Plans from the atlas and now after many hours of work on each we can make them affordably available to everyone
