Description: This beautifully hand coloured original antique map of Victoria - Port Phillip - was engraved by John Rapkin and published by John Tallis in 1851.
The firm of Tallis & Company flourished from 1835 to 1860 with varying imprints. Their illustrated Atlas of 1850-51 was one of the last decorative atlases, all the maps being engraved on steel and all adorned with small vignettes. (Ref: Tooley; M&B)
