19th-Century Decorative Map of British America with Arctic and Pacific Vignettes
This 19th-century map of British America, drawn and engraved by J. Rapkin and published by J
F Tallis, showcases the northern territories of North America during the Victorian era. The map is meticulously hand-colored, with borders highlighting regions under British control, including parts of present-day Canada, Alaska, and Greenland.
The decorative elements include captivating vignettes illustrated by H. Warren and engraved by J. Rogers, featuring scenes of polar bears, Inuit life in the Arctic, whaling in the northern seas, and a ship navigating icy waters. The bottom vignette presents a serene landscape view of the Oregon Territory. These artistic touches, along with the ornamental border, elevate the map beyond a functional cartographic tool to a work of art.
This map was created during a period of exploration and settlement in North America, reflecting the geopolitical landscape and natural wonders of the region. It is a valuable piece for collectors of antique maps, Canadian and Arctic history enthusiasts, or anyone intrigued by Victorian-era cartography.
Circa 1850s
