Published 1857, Gotha, Germany by Justus Perthes

Original antique engraved German map with original hand color. Place names in German as always.

There are numerous variants of this map, each displaying unique features. This example has a comparative mountain profile at bottom center as well as a very pronounced erroneous hook shape for Lake Torrens.

A detailed, scarce and interesting mid-19th century German map which could readily be collected on it's own merits, displayed or given as a present.

In VG antiquarian condition, mostly clean overall, light minor age dustiness or trivial small scattered age spotting as seen, original fold-line as issued, overall the map remains clean and attractive.
