  • Mappe Monde – Buffier – 1760

    Mappe Monde – Buffier – 1760

    An original copper engraved map of the world by cartographer Claude Buffier engraved by Faure published in Paris around 1760.

    Recognised as a simple sketch yet attractive depiction of the known world at the time. Australia is represented in the Dutch form with Western and Northern Australia outlined and a hint of the west coast of the Cape. In the south we see the Southernmost part of Tasmania. The suggestion of the Solomons is far too far east in the Pacific and the map shows California as an island which was the belief for a period in the early 18th century. A large unknown land looms towards the south pole.

    Engraved area 18cm by 14cm all in very good condition, lightly coloured as it should be.

    Price framed in Voyager rare map style $290.00 … beautiful ready to hang … perfect as a gift.

    Interesting understanding of the World by Buffier

  • King of the Australian Coast [Phillip Parker King] – Marsden Hordern

    King of the Australian Coast [Phillip Parker King] – Marsden Hordern

    Marsden Hordern’s magnificent book about “the Work of Phillip Parker King in the Mermaid and Bathurst 1817-1822”.

    A quality production by the Miegunyah Press. Published in 1998 a second limited release. Large octavo, 441 pages nicely illustrated throughout some in colour many from images drawn or painted by PPK. A heavy book. Eight folding historic maps in facsimile in pocket at rear.

    Fine condition, if read very carefully cared for, no marks, dust jacket no marks whatsoever and maps pristine.

    We agree with the summary of this work .. Phillip Parker King stands with Cook and Flinders in the history of exploration and charting of the Australian coastline. To a degree until this book he has not been given the credit deserved … this sumptuous book makes amends. It is the go to reference of PPK and his time in and around the Australian coastline. A must have and already highly sought after.

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

    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

    SO SORRY SOLD … BUT WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER ONE JUST ENQUIRE

  • Map of Colony of Queensland 1895

    Map of Colony of Queensland 1895

    Nicely coloured antique map of Queensland up to Endeavour Reef. Published in London by Bacon a good size 44cm by 32cm with centre fold as issued.

    Rather late for a Voyager map but then Queensland was still changing and being populated. Many of the larger northern centres are still to emerge. Fraser Island is still named Great Sandy Island and the ocean has yet to break through Stradbroke Island to form the North and South islands we now know. This happened in 1898.
