In the 1840s he worked in partnership with Frederick Tallis and later under the imprint John Tallis \u0026amp; Company, issuing views, maps, and atlases from about 1838 to 1851. His principal engraver was John Rapkin, whose ornate borders and vignette scenes led Tallis’s maps—especially the 1849 Illustrated Atlas of the World, produced for the period of the Great Exhibition—to be regarded as among the last great decorative works of Victorian English cartography. Beyond maps, Tallis also ventured into illustrated periodicals, notably founding the Illustrated News of the World in 1858, but he eventually sold this enterprise and his later business difficulties culminated in bankruptcy by 1861.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antiquarium Antique Maps | Quality Custom Picture Framing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48914683592843,"sku":"308750","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/6416\/6795\/files\/TallisMexico_California_Texas_1851.jpg?v=1786641986","url":"https:\/\/theantiquarium.com\/products\/mexico-california-and-texasgold-rush-tallis-1851","provider":"The Antiquarium Antique Maps | Quality Custom Picture Framing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
