1806. Maps. The map charts southern Victorian coast from Mt. Gambier to east of Wilsons Promontory, based on explorations by Grant, Bass & Flinders. A coastline map that uses Berlin as the prime meridian. Most of the detail is around Sud Cape (Wilsons Promontory). A very early representation of the southern Victorian coast & Bass Strait, this apparently published for a German geographical institute, but we've not seen it before. None of Grant's maps are listed in Tooley. Copper engraving 10 1/2 x 6 1/2". Two orig. folds o/w vgc. Very good. Item #22928
