EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "Map of Australia" from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich historical geography of Australia during the late 19th century. Dated 1876, this map is an essential document in understanding the evolution of Australia's administrative divisions. The map is adorned with intricate detail, showcasing the vast expanse of the Australian continent with its diverse topography, from the lush green forests of Tasmania in the south to the arid deserts of the interior. The map's most striking feature, however, is the meticulous labeling of the counties that covered Australia at the time. The counties, named after explorers, indigenous leaders, and geographical features, reflect the European influence on the Australian landscape. The map includes counties such as "County of Cook," named after the famous British explorer, and "County of Barkly," named after Sir Thomas Baker Barkly, a prominent figure in the colonial administration. The map also highlights the various territories and colonies that made up Australia during this period, including Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, and Western Australia. The map's historical significance lies in its ability to provide a snapshot of Australia's administrative divisions during a time of significant growth and change. This map print is an invaluable resource for historians, genealogists, and anyone with an interest in the history of Australia. Its intricate detail and historical accuracy make it a fascinating addition to any collection, offering a unique perspective on the geography and history of this vast and diverse continent.
