Tallis's maps are unusually decorative at a
time when maps were becoming more accurate and scientific. The
illustrations depict aspects of Scotland of interest to the
Victorian tourist, including deer stalking, Holyrood House, and an
early picture of shinty, a popular game particularly in the
Highlands. |
