A detailed antique map of Manchester published in 1851 by John Tallis, showing the city during the height of its early industrial growth. It captures Manchester as a rapidly expanding Victorian powerhouse, with dense urban streets surrounded by developing industrial districts and neighbouring towns The map clearly shows the River Irwell and surrounding canal and railway networks, reflecting the city’s importance as a centre of manufacturing and trade during the Industrial Revolution.
Like other Tallis maps from this period, it features ornate decorative borders filled with finely engraved vignettes of important local buildings and landmarks, adding a strong visual richness that frames the map almost like a historic gallery.
Each map is hand-laid on linen, enhancing durability and preserving colour over time. The linen backing also allows you to iron the reverse to remove folds and creases.
