Queensland Map 1874 - Including Hann's Explorations & Dalrymple's Discoveries
Queensland Map (1874) — Including Hann’s Explorations & Dalrymple’s Discoveries
A handsome 19th-century wall map of Queensland capturing a colony in motion—coastlines, rivers and districts carefully engraved, with routes attributed to Frank Hann and G. E. Dalrymple marked from their inland surveys and coastal forays. A superb statement piece for historians, collectors and Australian interiors.
Why it captivates
-
Exploration era detail — routes and notes from Hann & Dalrymple lend immediacy and narrative.
-
Colonial cartography — fine linework, period typography, and richly toned shading.
-
Conversation starter — Queensland’s emerging towns, ports and pastoral districts at a glance.
-
Decor & research — beautiful on the wall, useful for teaching, genealogy and regional history.
-
Australian-made finish options — archival papers, canvas, and ready-to-hang rails.
What you’ll see
District boundaries, principal rivers and ranges, coastal soundings and ports, telegraphs/roads of the period, and expedition traces credited to Hann and Dalrymple, annotated across North and Far North Queensland. Insets and notes (where present in the original) provide additional geographic context.
