About the Item

Title: Antique Map of Australia, 1903, with Colonial Divisions and Detailed Topography Description: This antique map, titled "Australia," was engraved and published in 1903 by W. A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It beautifully captures the vast expanse of the Australian continent at the dawn of the 20th century, highlighting the colonial divisions that would soon evolve into the modern states of Australia. The map is delicately colored in soft pastel shades to mark these colonial boundaries, including Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. The inset map of Tasmania provides additional detail on this island state, showcasing its important maritime connections and its role within the broader context of Australia. Major cities, towns, rivers, and mountain ranges are all marked with precision, reflecting the incredible detail and clarity of Johnston’s engraving. From the coastal hubs of Sydney and Melbourne to the remote expanses of the interior, this map offers a fascinating look at a continent on the cusp of transformation, just two years after the federation of the Australian colonies into the Commonwealth of Australia. For collectors, historians, and those with a passion for Australian history, this map is more than just a decorative piece—it is a portal to a formative period in the continent’s history, capturing both its rugged natural beauty and its political aspirations. Condition report: This map is in very good antique condition, with minor age-related foxing and gentle toning at the edges. The colors remain vibrant and the paper is well-preserved and stable. Framing tips: A classic wooden frame in walnut or cherry will enhance the soft pastel colors and historical detail of this map. Use a cream or off-white matting to highlight the fine linework and create a refined, timeless focal point for any home, library, or office.
