Australia

(Pacific- Coral Sea- South Pacific Ocean- Indian Ocean)

Issued Edinburgh & London, 1868 by Keith Johnston, for William Blackwood & Sons.

Engraved by W & A.K. Johnston.

Wonderfully detailed mid-19th century English produced map, with original outline hand color.

Small inset map of Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land) at bottom left. Interesting level of detail, topographical terrain shown via hachure, large still unexplored zones of a largely unknown continent interior.

Minor light toning and small scattered age spotting as typical for maps of this vintage, perhaps small minor paper flaws, but to our eyes and for most people, an entirely acceptable and nice looking example of this uncommon and minor key antique map which Tooley notes in numerous varying states.

Original fold line as issued.

Sheet measures c. 18" x 14 1/2"

Printed area measures c.16 1/2" x 12 1/2".
