Mexico and Texas - c. 1850
Note:
To view available close-ups, click on the area you wish to see. 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 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. Ordering: Please email us or phone the shop to order this map.
