Published in the Illustrated Atlas, And Modern H…istory Of The World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical, Edited By R. Montgomery Martin. Beautiful and interesting map of South East Europe. Much of the Balkans was then under the control of the Ottoman Turks. The region is delineated into the historic - and future - nations and states, including Croatia, Herzegovina, Bosnia, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, northern Greece, Bulgaria, Walachia (in Romania) and Moldova. Russia can be seen extending down into the areas around the Black Sea. Hapsburg-Austria and the heel of the Italian peninsula is shown. Corfu, Cyprus and the Greek islands can be seen lying of the archipelago. Gallipoli, Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus, and Constantinople/Istanbul and Asia Minor/Anatolia are shown in the lower right corner. John Tallis (7 November 1817 3 June 1876) was an English cartographic publisher. His company, John Tallis and Company, published views, maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846, and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858, selling it for £1,370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. (Wikipedia) The most important project John Tallis undertook, was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here, was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin (1815-1876) and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes, people in their environment and even more so, historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities, architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition, sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held, was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park, London, from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs, exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century, and it was a much-anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert, husband of the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time, including Charles Darwin, Samuel Colt, members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".

Aggiungi al carrello1st Edition. Very good condition. Blank on verso. Size 13.5 x 16 Inches. An excellent 1855 first edition example of Colton's map of European Turkey. Like most of Colton's Europe maps, this map was derived from an earlier wall map of the world produced by Colton and D. Griffing Johnson. This map, made when the Ottoman empire cont…rolled much of the region, covers what are today parts of Greece, Turkey, Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, and Moldova. An inset map in the lower left quadrant details the Bosporus and Istanbul (Constantinople). Another inset map, in the lower right, focuses on the island of Candia or Crete. This map depicts the waning years of Ottoman hegemony in the region, with the Greek Independence movement achieving Peloponnesian sovereignty in 1821. The Ionian Republic, under the protection of Great Britain, was also free of Ottoman control. The other Grecian and Balkan states, including Serbia, Croatia, Moldavia, Wallachia, Albania, and Macedonia, remained at least nominally under Ottoman control until 1878. This map also identifies various cities, towns, rivers, rapids, mountain passes, and an assortment of additional topographical details. Map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define national and regional boundaries. Surrounded by Colton's typical spiral motif border. Dated and copyrighted to J. H. Colton, 1855. Published from Colton's 172 William Street Office in New York City. Issued as page no. 22 in volume 2 of Colton's 1856 Atlas of the World. References: Rumsey 0149.089 (1856 edition). Phillips (Atlases) 816.
