A beautifully decorated map of New South Wales from John Tallis' Illustrated Atlas, with vignettes of Sydney Cove and the Murray River. The tracks of European explorations into the interior are clearly marked. Although he only issued one world atlas, John Tallis is among the best known of all map-makers and publishers. The maps were issued in 1851 to commemorate the Great Exhibition in London and are considered the last series of decorative maps of the world, combining fine cartographical detail within an elaborate and attractive border.
