J. Rapkin and John Tallis were notable mapmakers and publishers in the 19th century. They collaborated on several decorative maps, and one of their works is the "Western Hemisphere" map from 1851. This map is part of a series of highly detailed and beautifully illustrated maps produced by Tallis and Rapkin during the mid-19th century.

The "Western Hemisphere" map from 1851 featured intricate decorative borders, vignettes, and illustrations that depicted scenes and landmarks from the Americas.

John Tallis was a British publisher and engraver who played a significant role in the production of illustrated maps and atlases during the mid-19th century. He established himself as a publisher of maps, books, and atlases in London. His most famous works include the "Illustrated Atlas" and the "Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World." These atlases were renowned for their decorative maps, which featured intricate engravings, vignettes, and illustrations of important landmarks and scenes from various regions of the world. 

John Rapkin was an English mapmaker and engraver who collaborated with John Tallis on several of his map publications. While Rapkin is not as well-documented as Tallis, his contributions to the decorative elements of the maps were significant. He likely created many of the vignettes and illustrations that adorned the maps in Tallis's atlases.

Together, John Rapkin and John Tallis produced a series of decorative maps and atlases that were both educational and aesthetically pleasing. These maps remain highly collectible and sought after by antique map enthusiasts and collectors due to their historical significance and artistic appeal.
