About the Item
Title: Antique Map of New Zealand, 1903, Featuring the North and South Islands and the Southern Alps
Description:
This antique map, titled "New Zealand," was engraved and published in 1903 by W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It provides a beautifully detailed depiction of New Zealand during a period of remarkable growth and change, capturing the rich cultural and natural diversity of this island nation.
Hand-colored in soft pastel shades to delineate regional boundaries, the map traces major cities, towns, rivers, and mountain ranges, including an inset illustration of the Southern Alps that beautifully captures the grandeur of New Zealand’s alpine landscapes. The map’s fine engraving and delicate typography highlight the rugged coastline, the lush green interior, and the intricate maritime connections that link the islands to the wider Pacific world.
The North Island and South Island are presented with a sense of balance and unity, underscoring the natural beauty and strategic importance of New Zealand within the British Empire at the time. This map is a fascinating window into the history and geography of New Zealand at the dawn of the 20th century, offering a unique blend of artistry and cartographic precision.
For collectors, historians, and those with a deep appreciation for the cultural and natural heritage of New Zealand, this map is a treasure—a reflection of both the enduring spirit of the land and the historical forces that have shaped it.
