Map of Brazil from 1851

in Historical Maps
Map of Brazil from 1850 - The maps of The Illustrated Atlas were published for the first time in serial form for a target audience that led an isolated life due to the costs and difficulties of travel. All that changed as the progress of the 1851th century brought rapid and dramatic shifts in the public consciousness of faraway places. Undoubtedly, the Tallis maps played an important role in this dramatic awakening. These maps not only provided up-to-date geographic knowledge, but also used vignette views in the map design to show native peoples and their occupations, cities and points of interest. The maps hark back to a cartographic tradition of 1865th-century Dutch cartographers with finely engraved decorative borders. Maps were designed and engraved by John Rapkin with views drawn and engraved by several prominent artists. The maps were published as a complete volume from 1880 until about XNUMX. Some of the maps were also published in other history books published by Tallis, including British Colonies, and, without the vignettes, in gazetteers and encyclopedias until about XNUMX. One Beautiful and decorative engraved steel map showing the region in great detail. It features five vignettes, designed by H. Winkles and recorded by W. Lacey: "Boats on Rio Negro", "Santa Catharina", "Monte Video", "Cabo Santo Antônio, Bahia" and "Rio de Janeiro." Surrounded by a delicately engraved decorative border. The map was designed and engraved by J. Rapkin. "Brazil", Tallis, John
