GENUINE RARE ORIGINAL

HAND COLOURED ENGRAVED MAP OF:
"TURKEY IN ASIA"
FROM JOHN TALLIS' ILLUSTARTED ATLAS 1851.

(This is an original item
NOT a modern reproduction)

HISTORY: "One of the most popular cartographers of the 19th Century was John Tallis, a London publisher. Tallis 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.

The principal features of Tallis maps are the extensive use of vignette views and highly ornamental engraved framing of the perimeter. Most of his maps contained a limited amount of color, usually outlining boundaries and major terrain features. Later in the Nineteenth Century, many owners of Tallis atlases commissioned colourists to tint the beautiful vignettes. This selection of maps includes some with colored vignettes."

This map was purchased some 35 years ago from Folio Fine Art Ltd, London - label to back of mount - and comes it this original mount. The map has representations of Turkey, Palestine (Israel & the Holy Land), and parts of Iraq, Arabia, Armenia, and Persia. There are engraved images of Jerusalem, lounging Arabs, the Castles of Europe and Asia, and an Ostrich.

SIZE: approx: 13 inches x 10 inches.
- 20 inches x 16 inches inc. mount.

CONDITION: Very Good

Map still in mount and attached to board backing with an olive green mount to front. Lovely crisp, vibrant hand colouring to decorated border and vignettes. Very minor soiling else in very good condition.

An attractive and highly desirable addition to any antique map collection.
