VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH MINOR FOXING ON SOME. John Tallis (1817-1876) was a British map publisher. Born in the Midlands, Tallis came to London in the 1840s. Tallis began his London career with a series of remarkable London street views. He began a partnership with a Frederick Tallis, possibly his brother, but their collaboration ended in 1849. For the Great Exhibition of 1851, Tallis published the Illustrated World Atlas, one of the last series of decorative world maps ever produced. The maps were engraved by John Rapkin, a skilled artisan. The maps were later reissued by the London Printing & Publishing Company, who left the Tallis imprint intact, thus ensuring his enduring fame. FYI: FOXING (BROWN SPOTS) CAN BE REMOVED BY SOAKING IN A SOLUTION OF SODIUM TETRABORATE (BORAX) & DISTILLED WATER, THEN THOROUGHLY RINSE AND PRESS BETWEEN FELT TILL DRY.
