Map of Tasmania – Carte de la Terra Van-Diemen – Rigobert Bonne – 1787

An original copper engraved 18th century map from Cooks voyages depicting South East Tasmania. 35cm by 24cm to the printed area, wide margins and strong plate impression. Pretty good condition uncoloured as it should be.

Whilst depicting the earlier efforts of Tasman the focus of this map is the discovery of Adventure Bay by Captain Tobias Furneaux in 1773. It was not until 1792 when Bruni d’Entrecasteaux found the channel that was to separate Bruny Island.

Other irregularities appear on this map Cape Frederick Henry (now Cape Queen Elizabeth) is technically misplaces as Furneaux believed incorrectly he was just south of Tasman’s Fredrick Henriex bay. Here we have the Tasman Peninsula named Isles Maria.

We particularly like the reference to Mewstone, Pedro Blanco (after the China Seas Island and one of the few remaining Portuguese names) and Eddystone (named by Cook after the English Eddystone Lighthouse)’

Framed in cream mat with black core in charcoal frame. Ready for you study.

Riogobert Bonne (1727-1795) succeeded Bellin as the official chartmaker to the French navy.

Early and interesting map of South East Tassie
