About the Item
Antique Map of Australia, New Zealand & Polynesia – Stülpnagel, 1857
Description:
This finely engraved and delicately hand-colored map titled "Australien und Polynesien in Mercator's Projection" was published in 1857 by Justus Perthes in Gotha and designed by cartographer F. von Stülpnagel. The map captures a broad and detailed view of the South Pacific region, encompassing Australia, New Zealand, and the vast expanse of Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia.
The map includes the eastern coast of Asia (including the Philippines and Indonesia), the full Australian continent labeled "Australien" with its internal divisions (West-Australien, Süd-Australien, Neu-Süd-Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania), as well as the entirety of New Zealand (Neu-Seeland), clearly showing both North and South Islands.
A multitude of Pacific island groups are intricately charted, including the Society Islands, Marquesas, Tuamotu Archipelago, Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, the Caroline Islands, and the Marshall Islands. Each group is labeled with remarkable precision, and many individual islands are named, reflecting the depth of European exploration and colonial interest during the 19th century.
Color coding indicates colonial affiliations of European powers including Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and the USA. A scale of latitudinal elevation appears in the lower left corner, along with a Mercator projection diagram in the lower right.
This is a particularly valuable piece for collectors interested in Pacific navigation, Australian colonial history, or 19th-century geopolitical cartography. It also offers visual insight into the extent of Western knowledge of Oceania at a time when many of these regions were being actively mapped and colonized.
