1882 Original Antique Map of New Zealand with Inset of Auckland's Environs
About the Item
This 1882 map of New Zealand, published by Blackie and Son as part of the 'Comprehensive Atlas and Geography of the World,' provides a detailed representation of the North Island and South Island (referred to as Middle Island) of New Zealand. It highlights the country's topographical and political features during the late 19th century. The map includes major towns, settlements, and transportation routes, showcasing the development of infrastructure and urban areas at the time.
Topographical details such as mountain ranges, rivers, and coastal contours are carefully engraved. The Southern Alps and other prominent features are highlighted, reflecting the dramatic geography of the South Island. Maritime details, including coastal navigation points and surrounding islands, are also shown. An inset map of the "Environs of Auckland" offers a closer view of the region around Auckland, including harbors and smaller settlements.
The map’s subtle pastel coloring is used to differentiate regions, enhancing its aesthetic appeal while providing clarity. Its high level of detail and craftsmanship make it both a valuable historical document and an attractive display piece.
Condition report: The map is in good condition, with minor age-related toning and light spotting. The engraving remains clear, and the coloring is vibrant. There are no visible tears or repairs.
Framing tips: Use a classic wooden frame in a walnut or dark oak finish to complement the historical character. A double mat with a cream or off-white inner mat and a soft green or light beige outer mat will enhance the map’s tones. Opt for UV-protective glass to prevent fading and preserve its condition for display.
