Description: This map is a beautifully printed and hand coloured reproduction. Original Tallis maps were issued uncolored. It was not uncommon for 19th century libraries to commission colorists to "complete" the atlas. 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. Tallis Maps were characterised by decorative borders and vignettes on each map
