James Rapkin and John Tallis were notable figures in the 19th-century cartography and publishing industry. Together, they produced a series of highly decorative and detailed maps, including their work on "Russia in Asia" in 1851. 

"Russia in Asia" was part of a larger series known as "The Illustrated Atlas." These maps were renowned for their elaborate and artistic presentation, often featuring decorative borders and vignettes that depicted scenes from the regions they represented. These embellishments added an aesthetic quality to the maps that set them apart from more utilitarian cartographic works of the time.

Specifically, the map "Russia in Asia" would have provided a detailed and up-to-date representation of the Russian Empire's holdings in Asia during the mid-19th century. It likely included information on administrative divisions, major cities, rivers, and topographical features. The decorative elements on the map might have included illustrations of indigenous peoples, local flora and fauna, and significant landmarks.

Tallis and Rapkin's maps were highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts due to their visual appeal and accuracy. They were often used as reference materials and decorative pieces in homes and offices.

While these maps are historically significant for their depiction of the world as it was understood in the 19th century, they are also treasured for their aesthetic qualities, making them valuable artifacts of both cartographic and artistic history.
