Item description from seller

Original steel engraved map concentrating on Chile and central Argentina. Five vignette illustrations including a view of the Grand Square in Buenos Aires. Decorative scrolling and title cartouche around the edges of the image. ( (Map 29.5 x 22 cm, overall sheet 36 x 27.5 cm). Original outline colour with additional later hand colouring to border and vignettes. Centrefold crease as issued. For the Great Exhibition in 1851 John Tallis (1817-1876) worked with engraver John Rapkin (1815-1876) to publish the 'Illustrated World Atlas', whose maps were later re-issued by the London Printing and Publishing Company. Their maps are prized for their steel-engraved vignettes showing the peoples, customs, architecture, landmarks, flora, and fauna of each country.
