Although he only issued one world atlas, John Tallis is among the best known of all map-makers and publishers. The maps were issued in 1851 to commemorate the Great Exhibition in London and are considered the last series of decorative maps of the world, combining fine cartographical within an elaborate and attractive border. This particular map, including Adelaide, has three small vignettes entitled "Adelaide", "Natives On A Catamaran" and the "Seal Of South Australia".
