"Western Australia, Swan River", Tallis, John

Lovely map of southwestern Australia centered on Perth and detailing its vicinity down to Doubtful Island Bay and north to above Champion Bay. Twenty five counties are named and delineated via hand coloring. Surrounded in a delicately engraved border with seven vignettes including views between Perth and Freemantle, Perth from Mount Eliza, sheep herding and shearing, and one showing Aborigines with spears and shields. Surrounded by a delicately engraved decorative border.

The map image is fine. Margins with a little chipping at one place on bottom edge. This example has wider margins than normally seen with Tallis' maps. The borders are uncolored as issued but the vignettes are well and delicately colored.
