John Tallis.  “Van Diemen’s Island or Tasmania”.  From The Illustrated Atlas.

London: John Tallis & Co., [1851]. approx. 10 x 13.  Illustrations drawn by H. Warren and engraved by J. Rogers. Original outline color.  Very good condition.  

Beginning in 1851, John Tallis & Co. issued their Illustrated Atlas, which contained maps of all parts of the world.  These detailed maps are particularly known for their decorative borders and the small, finely engraved vignettes of local scenes.  These are some of the most interesting mid-nineteenth century maps of Australia.
