Decorative and detailed mid-19th century map of Southern Italy which was drawn and engraved by John Rapkin (vignettes by A. H. Wray and J. Rogers) and published in John Tallis & Co.'s The Illustrated Atlas (London & New York, circa 1851). The Illustrated Atlas, published from 1849-1853, was the last decorative world atlas. The Northern Italy map was typical of the many fine ones that appeared in this work with its ornamental border and attractive vignettes. Illustrated are views of Naples and Vesuvius, Benevento, a carnival and the Festival of the Vintage.
