A Chart of New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land &c.
A handsome and early map of the colony of New South Wales with most of the interior as yet unexplored. The routes of five expeditions are marked on the map with coloured lines. These include journeys along the Lachlan and Macquarie Rivers by George William Evans, as well as Evans's first crossing of the Blue Mountains.
The map of New South Wales is surrounded by three large insets. The largest of these insets focuses on Tasmania, once again showing the limit of European exploration to 1828. The outlines of 23 administrative districts are marked on the map, but these are all located around Hobart and the Derwent River. The interior of the island is almost entirely blank.
The inset in the lower-left corner is no less fascinating as it shows the environs of Sydney, its early road network, and the first English settlements away from the coast. Places with churches are marked as such and distances are given between settlements.
The final inset gives an overview of Australia, here still labelled as 'New Holland', and outlines the area shown in the larger map of New South Wales. A dotted line marks the obsolete division of the continent between the English and the Dutch. Some earlier editions of Thomson's map are coloured to reinforce this division, but by 1828 the Dutch had ceded their share of Australia to the British making this dividing line a relic.
Original colour.
