The Illustrated Plan of London and its Environs, in commemoration of The Great Exhibition of Industry of All Nations, 1851. A magnificent, highly decorative map of Victorian London. Engraved by John Rapkin and published by John Tallis in London, in 1851.

"The Illustrated Plan of London and its Environs in commemoration of The Great Exhibition of Industry of All Nations, 1851" is considered as the most attractive map of London published in 19th century. The plan is a detailed large format map of London, engraved by J. Rapkin, and surrounded by vignettes of 49 views of London landmarks, including the Crystal Palace, by other engravers. The map was published by John Tallis to commemorate the Great Exhibition in 1851, for the Illustrated World Atlas.

The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, or The Great Exhibition, was held from 1st May to 15th October 1851. The exhibition was the first World Fair and was organised by Henry Cole and Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria. The exhibition was housed in Crystal Palace, a temporary structure in Hyde Park in a form of a giant greenhouse, constructed almost entirely from cast iron frames and glass. The Crystal Palace since became a symbol of Victorian age.

John Tallis (1817 - 1876) was an English map publisher. He was born in Midlands and with varying success run a publishing business in London from approximately 1838 to 1863. His work includes the Illustrated World Atlas, published in 1851 for the Great Exhibition, and the Illustrated News of the World and National Portrait Gallery, published later.

John Rapkin (1813 - 1899) was an English engraver. He was a son of a shoe-maker and later established a company John Rapkin & Sons. He engraved maps and town plans for John Tallis' atlas.

Comfortable Shoes Right Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
I bought these shoes for my husband. He has a very hard time finding quality, comfortable shoes. These shoes are just as comfortable as his New Balance. He uses them as a dress shoe and wears them at least once a week. There was no break in period necessary. They were comfortable right out of the box! The only thing we didn't like was the white sole color. Once I knew he was going to keep them, I used a black sharpie marker to color the soles black. Instant amazing, comfortable dress shoes. They were well worth the cost. If you or your SO needs a comfortable pair of shoes, we highly recommend them.

Paid for new, received used.
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Cognac, Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Cognac
Arrived dirty as if someone whore it for more than a few days. Maybe I was mistaken, but I saw nothing about “previously used” on the Amazon page. Returned it. I would suggest that the company use quality control when it comes to shipping. The shoes seem find otherwise. I ordered 9.5 and it was just a bit tight. If I reorder I will go for size 10.

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.

Perfect buy!
Fit Type: Regular, Size: Large, Color: White
This white denim jacket came today, and finally I bought the perfect jacket! It's actual denim, heavy but not too bulky. It fits perfectly, I bought a large, it's white not off white, and it is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I had to wait a week or two but it is definitely worth the wait! Beautiful jacket, well made and at a decent price! Thanks Amazon Essentials!
