Tallis, John (pub.); Rapkin, John (eng.) Four maps from the Illustrated Atlas of the World (c. 1849-51) comprising: Chili and La Plata. Illus. by H. Winkles, hand-coloured illus. and outlines, with central fold. British America. Illus. by H. Warren, hand coloured illus. and outlines, with central fold. Russia in Europe. Illus. A.H. Wray, hand coloured outlines, no central fold. Africa. Illus. by J. Marchant, hand coloured illus. and outlines, no central fold. Tallis' Illustrated Atlas (produced for the 1851 Great Exhibition) brought together many of Rapkin's maps from 1849's British Colonies. The Atlas is considered the last truly decorative atlas, with vignettes and borders, and is highly regarded as the last flowering of elaborate 19th century map making. The 1851 Atlas had unfolded plates. w/ Hinton, John (pub.) An Accurate Map of India beyond the Ganges, with the Oriental Islands generally called East India. 18th c. from the Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure. Hand coloured. Hinton's Universal Magazine was published from 1747 until 1815, although Hinton died in 1781. Hinton commissioned various maps (especially county ones) possibly as part of a never-realised Atlas.
