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
