A very appealing, mid 19th-century engraved map.  Tallis maps are renowned for their decorative quality. This is one of the most desirable of the Tallis maps, with a large and clearly marked Gold Region in California (original yellow hand color identifies it). Also includes vignette illustrations of gold washing, Mexican peasantry, and the ruins at Uxmal, Yucatan. A large and prominent Texas depicted shortly after statehood.  All of this is set within an elaborate scrollwork border.

In VG+ condition, very attractive and visually pleasing. The map has slight areas of toning which are less conspicuous in person (actually, hardly noticeable in person). With original outline hand color.

In all, a very clean, pleasing example of this very desirable map. Very appealing, one of the last truly decorative maps from the mid-19th century.

Sheet measures c. 10 5/8"H x 14 3/8 "W.  Image measures c. 12 7/8"W x 10 1/4"H.
