(Australia / Siam / New Zealand / Tasmania / Pacific Islands / Sandwich Islands)

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

Engraved by W & A.K. Johnston.

Interesting mid-19th century English map, with original outline hand color.

Key below title (bottom right) includes color-coded designations for the various colonial powers of the time: British, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and the United States. This includes Sandwich Islands, noting Capt. Cook's deather spot 1779.

Minor light toning and small scattered age spotting as typical for maps of this vintage, perhaps small minor paper flaws, tiny split at bottom centerfold, but to our eyes and for most people, an entirely acceptable and nice looking example of this antique map.

Original fold line as issued.

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

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