A beautiful folded antique map of the Baltic Sea, by famous English cartographic publisher John Tallis. Printed by the London Printing and Publishing Company, 1858.

Adding to the appeal of the map are the exquisite saving borders and the hand-coloured outlines around various territories. There are delightful illustrations of Kronstadt, Revel, St. Petersburg, Abo, and Helsingfors.

The full map is shown in the last photo. Other photos show details from the map.

The John Tallis maps are highly sought after for their intricate ornamental borders and beautiful vignettes of local scenes. The finely engraved maps are hand-coloured and are visually stunning. It's what many people imagine an old map to look like.
