Old Map of Australia and Tasmania, 1851, by Tallis & Rapkin - Sydney, Melbourne, Perth Size:48x60in (120x150cm) RickmansworthEngraved by John Rapkin and published by J. Tallis & Co in 1851, this is one of the finest and most detailed historic maps of Australia, at a time when well, look at the map almost no land except the coasts have been colonised. Australia had only been founded about 60 years prior and in case you were wondering, 1851 was the year that the gold rush officially began! This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45. 5x61cm)
