Decorative 1850 Tallis "WESTERN HEMISPHERE" Map
c. 1850, Hand-colored Map of the "WESTERN HEMISPHERE," drawn by J. Rapkin, published by The London Printing and Publishing Company (John Tallis), with Illustrations by H. Warren and J. Rogers, Very Fine.
Steel-Engraved Map with slight Hand-colored in outline, 10.75" x 14," surrounded by 12 uncolored vignettes of people and animals intertwined with vines & cacti. This was one of the most popular (hence, oft-copied) maps of the 1850's because of the quaint vignettes, which include a Polar Bear, an American Bison, a spouting whale, a llama, a walrus, plus depictions of American Indians, Eskimos, and an early settler. An unobtrusive, vertical, central fold and some light foxing indicate that this was once bound into a book or magazine. Ready for framing and display.
