A fine map of MANCHESTER.

This map was drawn & engraved by John Rapkin for The Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World published by John Tallis. A rare and highly decorative map including vignettes of Royal Infirmary, Royal Institution, Town Hall, Post Office, Free Library, and Collegiate Church. Engraved for R. Montgomery Martin’s Illustrated Atlas. 
CARTOGRAPHER: JOHN TALLIS
YEAR: 1851

 

John Tallis is one of the most renowned English cartographers and publishers of the 19th century, despite producing only one atlas.
The Illustrated Atlas of the World was published for the 1851 Great Exhibition, and his maps are considered to be the last of the lavishly decorated and ornamental maps, works of art as much of geography.
