Old Map of North America 1851 by John Tallis

A fine reproduction artworked from an antique original map of North America, issued as part of the 1851 edition of John Tallis and Company's "The Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World". Made shortly following the entry of Texas into the Union, this map depicts an important point in American history. Herein Texas is shown at near its fullest extent including Santa Fe and but excluding the Green Mountain extension in the Northwest. Upper California has yet to become a part of the United States and while Oregon is included, Washington remains a part of British America. The mythical Buenaventure River appears in northern California. The map displays several beautiful vignettes depicting oNorth American Indianso, a oWhite Dearo, Beavers, the oFalls of Niagarao, a oConvoy of Diamondso, an oAncient Monument, Mexicoo, oCossackso, and the Esquimaux Dog-Sledge. The map is surrounded by a highly decorative border
