This is the Austria of the Hapsburgs and the political sub-divisions show the polyglot nature of this multi-national domain. Renowned cities such as Milan, Prague, Buda and Pest, and ancient regions such as Lombardy, Tyrol, Illyria, Carinthia, Salzburg, Istria, Bohemia, Moravia, Croatia, Dalmatia, Sclavonia, Hungary, Banat, Transylvania, Bukovina and Gallicia show the extent of Vienna's empire. Prussia and Russia border her to the east after the three powers consumed Poland in the past century. Ottoman Turkey is still supreme in the Balkans for the time being. To the West lie Switzerland and the still-congealing Italian and German states. The Adriatic Sea washes Austria's underbelly. A scale bar can be seen off the coast. The Hapsburg coat-of-arms is located in the top right corner of the map. Relief is shown through hachuring. The mighty Danube flows irresistibly and timelessly across a region that would be undergo radical reorganisation and bloodly tumult over the next century or more. John Tallis (7 November 1817 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. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858, selling it for £1,370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. (Wikipedia) The most important project John Tallis undertook, was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here, was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin (1815-1876) and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes, people in their environment and even more so, historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities, architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition, sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held, was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park, London, from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs, exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century, and it was a much anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert, husband of the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time, including Charles Darwin, Samuel Colt, members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".

Beautiful map of the southern Indian subcontinent, from Sinde at the mouth of the Indus Estuary in the north down through Gujerat, Bejapor and Mysore and down into the Carnatic region in the south.

The major cities such as Bombay, Sernigapatam, and Madras are shown, as are the rivers - including the Godavery and Beema rivers. This was an India dominated by the East India Company, the British joint-stock company that came to rule large areas of India with its private armies, exercising military power and seizing administrative functions. Formed in the early 1600s to compete with the Dutch for trade and commerce in the East, the company rose to account for half of the world's trade at one point. Company rule in India lasted until 1858, when, following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown's assuming direct control of the Indian subcontinent in the form of the new British Raj. The company was dissolved in 1874 as a result of the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act passed one year earlier, as the Government of India Act had by then rendered it vestigial, powerless, and obsolete. The official government machinery of British India assumed the East India Company's governmental functions and absorbed its navy and its armies in 1858.

Published in the Illustrated Atlas, And Modern History Of The World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical, Edited By R. Montgomery Martin. Beautifully bordered and fascinating double map of the overland route between Britain and India. The upper map shows Europe and the links - both land and sea - running from England through to Alexandria, Egypt. The routes are; the 'Mail Steam Packet Route,' which runs around Gibraltar through Malta and onto Egypt; the 'Marseilles Overland Route' that runs across France, to Marseilles and onto Alexandria via Malta and; the 'German Overland Route' that runs through across Belgium, Germany before reaching Trieste and then onto the Mediterranean and then Egypt. The second map shows the differing routes on the next part of the journey - either across the Turkish controlled Middle East and through the Persian Gulf, or down the Red Sea and across the Indian Ocean. What the map clearly illustrates is the importance attached to India ('Hindoostan') in the Imperial mind and the need for secure communication and transport links, which necessitated control of certain choke points on the link such as Gibraltar, Malta, Suez etc. John Tallis (7 November 1817 3 June 1876) was an English cartographic publisher.

Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin (1815-1876) and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes, people in their environment and even more so, historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities, architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition, sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held, was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park, London, from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs, exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century, and it was a much-anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert, husband of the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time, including Charles Darwin, Samuel Colt, members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".

Beautifully bordered and fascinating map of the globe utilizing the Mercator projection that became the usual projection for commercial and educational maps in the 19th Century. Even a cursory glance at the map shows the distortions associated with the map as the lands nearer the equator, such as Africa and South American, look disproportionately small when compared to the inflated sized of Greenland and northern Asia. The lack of knowledge about Antarctica is evident with only a sliver of South Victoria included on the map. Britain's colonial holdings and the steam routes between the UK and its colonies are also included on the map. The major cities and rivers are included on the map and relief depicted with hachuring. The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection presented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569. It became the standard map projection for navigation because of its unique property of representing any course of constant bearing as a straight segment. John Tallis (7 November 1817 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.

Beautiful and fascinating map of Prussia from the Victorian Era. Prussia's boundaries are highlighted and illustrate its non-contiguous make up. Four De-jure 'Kleinstaaterei', or mini-/micro-states can be seen holding within the borders of Prussia - evidence of the fragmented nature of the German lands throughout the existence of the recently expired Holy Roman Empire. But this was changing: In the west lie Prussia's post-1815 acquisitions in Westphalia and the Rhineland, while in the east 'Prussian Poland' and 'Posen' remind the viewers of the fate of the erstwhile Polish state. Four additional territorial possessions resemble globules from the main bodies of Prussian land. The more ancient lands of East Prussia and Brandenburg are identified also. Prussia is located in a busy neighbourhood with Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Austria, Saxony, France, Belgium and Holland abutting Berlin's territory. The islands of the Baltic are also identified. The much-heralded German railway system is shown on the map, linking ports like Hamburg and Stettin to Berlin. The map is littered with the names of famous towns and cities such as Memel, Konigsberg and Warsaw in the East, Cracow, Prague and Dresden in the South to Magdeburg and Dortmund in the west. The region's rivers, such as the Elbe and Vistula are also identified. Relief is depicted through hachuring. A scale-bar is shown in the lower left corner. A Prussian eagle stands perched upon the highly decorative map border. John Tallis (7 November 1817 3 June 1876) was an English cartographic publisher.
