John Tallis and Company published a large selection of illustrated maps in his famous Illustrated Atlas of the World published 1851. His principle engraver was John Rapkin, whose name and decorative vignettes appear on most Tallis & Co. maps. Due to the decorative style of Rapkin's work, many regard Tallis maps as the best of the illustrated Atlases. #tallismaps #antiquemaps. #oldmaps #atlasmaps #johntallis #carolinaprints #engravings #rapkinmaps #englishmaps (at Carolina Antique Maps & Prints) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHmRejhGA1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r9gfb22qtks8
