CHART OF NEW SOUTH WALES, VAN DIEMEN’S LAND &c.

Interesting sheet with four maps, that shows the extent of settlement in Australia in the early nineteenth century. The four maps are, in order of size: ‘Surveys in the Interior of New South Wales.’, ‘Van Diemen’s Land from the latest Authorities and Surveys.’, ‘British Settlements at Port Jackson.’ (a larger scale map of Sydney and surrounding area), ‘ Part of Austalasia.’ (a map of the whole of Australia, here called by its older name of ‘New Holland’). The New General Atlas was one of the most accurate and best produced atlases of the day. John Thomson’s ‘County Atlas of Scotland’ is generally considered the finest of its kind.

Light offsetting. Very good condition.
