The 'Van Diemen's Island' map was typical of the many fine ones which appeared in this work with its ornamental border and attractive vignettes. Illustrated are views of 'Hobarton' (Hobart).

His principal engraver was John Rapkin, whose name and decorative vignettes appear on most Tallis \u0026amp; Co. maps. Due to the decorative style of Rapkin's work, many regard Tallis maps as the last bastion of English decorative cartography in the 19th century. Though most Tallis maps were originally issued uncolored, it was not uncommon for 19th century libraries to commission colorists to \"complete\" the atlas. The London Printing and publishing Company of London and New York bought the rights for many Tallis maps in 1850 and continued Publishing his\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIllustrated Atlas of the World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003euntil the mid 1850s.
