Description

This is a map of HUNGARY drawn and engraved by John Rapkin for "The Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World" published by Tallis & Co in 1851.

This is an attractive and decorative map of mid 19th century Hungary illustrated with vignette engravings of Hungarian Peasants, Pesth - the Fortress of Buda, Hungarian Nobles and On the Danube. The vignettes are illustrated by H. Warren and engraved by J. Rogers.

The map has original outline hand colouring which has been augmented with later hand-colouring. The later colouring of the vignettes and border, which was undertaken by a specialist, has enhanced the decorative appeal of this attractive map. It is printed on heavy grade paper, blank verso and unfolded.

It is in excellent condition and from the preferred edition without the central fold. This map was removed from an Atlas the covers were in poor condition and a few of the maps were already missing.

Mounted in a cream mount, protected in cellophane, this map is ready for framing or for giving as a gift.
