J. Rapkin and John Tallis were prominent figures in the 19th century British cartography and publishing industries. They collaborated on several projects, including maps and atlases that gained significant popularity during their time. One of their notable works was the "Illustrated Atlas of the World," which was published in 1851.

The "Illustrated Atlas of the World" featured beautifully detailed and decorative maps of various regions across the globe, including British India. The maps were known for their accuracy and intricate illustrations, showcasing the landscapes, cities, towns, rivers, and other geographical features of the regions they depicted.

The maps provided valuable information for travelers, merchants, and those interested in exploring the world through the detailed cartographic representations. They also served as decorative pieces in affluent homes and institutions, thanks to their artistic quality.

As for British India in 1851, this was during the time when the British East India Company was actively administering most of the Indian subcontinent. The period marked significant political and socio-economic changes as British influence continued to expand across the region. The Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny or the First War of Independence, occurred just a few years later in 1857-1858.

The maps produced by Rapkin and Tallis provided a glimpse into the vast and diverse territories of British India during this transformative period in history.
