This la rge
fine hand coloured original antique map of
Australia and Asia
was
published by John Thomson in his 1817 edition of A New General Atlas of the
World.
This large beautiful map of Australia and Asia published
only 30 years after the initial settlement of Australia
in Botany Bay by the First Fleet is in superb condition.
Beautifully hand colored on clean, heavy and sturdy
paper this is a wonderful example of this much sort
after map.
