Oceania.

(Oceania, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Polynesia, Micronesia, Tasmania).

Issued 1865, Edinburgh & London by Wm. Blackwood for K. Johnston.

Fine oversize mid 19th century engraved map with original outline hand color. A nice large map of the era, three large detailed insets across the bottom including Western Australia as well as Tasmania island and New Zealand.

From an uncommon atlas, a monumental folio production which was quite expensive in its day and hence had a relatively small circulation compared to smaller format atlases.

Well preserved, clean, nice looking example with pleasing age patina. Short 1" split at base of centerfold confined to blank margin imprint area outside neat line

Original center fold as issued. Printed on heavy thick paper, in a tube over 8 ounces, thus international shipping will be more than typical as seen in listing details. 

Sheet Measures c. 19 1/2" H x 24" W.

Engraved Area Measures c. 17 1/4" H x 22 1/2" .
