Antique Map of Australia and Oceania – Physical Relief Map by Hachette, c.1883
Description:
This antique map titled “Australie” was published circa 1883 by Hachette in Paris as part of their educational “Atlas en relief.” The map depicts Australia and its surrounding regions, including New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and parts of Indonesia and Melanesia, with hypsometric colouring to show elevation ranges.
The map presents colonial Australia divided into its historic states: Western Australia (Australie Occidentale), South Australia (Australie Méridionale), Queensland, New South Wales (Nouvelle Galles du Sud), Victoria, and Tasmania (Ile de Van Diemen). Notably, it uses some older regional names, such as “Alexandra” appearing centrally. New Zealand is also clearly labelled with both its North and South Islands. The map highlights physical features such as the Great Dividing Range, interior deserts, and river systems.
An inset map at lower left shows a comparison of France to Australia in scale, intended for French students to appreciate Australia’s vast size relative to Europe. Produced by E. Hachette, Editeur, Rue Serpente, Paris, this piece was part of a broader effort to educate on geography and the natural world in the late 19th century.
Condition:
Good condition with original pastel colours. Some foxing spots and light toning, particularly in the wide margins, consistent with age. Ready for framing.
Framing tip:
This physical map of Australia and Oceania will look elegant float-mounted in a dark wood or simple black frame to enhance its educational and vintage aesthetic. Ideal for libraries, collectors of antique cartography, or display in spaces celebrating Australian heritage and exploration.
