John Tallis was a British map publisher and engraver active during the 19th century. In 1851, he published a series of maps titled "Tallis's Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World." This atlas contained maps of various regions, including Tibet, Mongolia, and Manchuria, which were significant areas in Asia during that time.

The maps in Tallis's atlas were known for their decorative and artistic qualities. They often featured elaborate vignettes, illustrations, and ornamental borders, making them both informative and visually appealing. These maps were popular among the general public, providing valuable geographical information and historical context about different parts of the world.

Tibet, Mongolia, and Manchuria were particularly interesting regions in the mid-19th century, as they were located in the heart of Asia and held strategic and cultural importance. Tibet was known for its isolated and mountainous terrain, unique culture, and historical connections to Buddhism. Mongolia, on the other hand, was renowned for its nomadic lifestyle and was ruled by the Qing Dynasty as an autonomous region. Manchuria, the northeastern part of modern-day China, was the homeland of the ruling Qing Dynasty and a significant agricultural and industrial center.

Tallis's maps of these regions would have provided valuable insights into their geographical features, political boundaries, and cultural characteristics as they were understood during the mid-19th century. Today, these maps are considered historical artifacts, shedding light on the perceptions and knowledge of the time when they were created.
