John Rapkin (1815-1876) drew and engraved the maps for John Tallis’ renowned "Illustrated Atlas" published to coincide with the great exhibition in London in 1851. The maps were also later re-issued by the London Printing and Publishing Company, still bearing the Tallis imprint. Rapkin’s style is elegant and clear and considerable geographical detail and nomenclature is shown on the maps.
