MAPS & GLOBES

Our collection spans four centuries of cartographic history, from the Age of Discovery through colonial expansion. We specialise in Dutch Golden Age cartography (Willem Blaeu, Joan Blaeu, Frederik de Wit), French Royal Cartographers (Guillaume Delisle, Nicolas Sanson, Jacques-Nicolas Bellin), British mapmakers (Arrowsmith, John Speed, Emanuel Bowen, Thomas Jefferys), and 19th-century scientific surveys.

Our antique maps of Australia trace European discovery from Dutch charting of New Holland (1600s) through British colonial surveys and state formation. We hold exceptional examples from Cook’s voyages, Flinders’ circumnavigation, Baudin’s expedition, and colonial land surveys of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania. Geographic coverage extends to world maps, continental charts, regional surveys, and detailed town plans across all continents.

Formats range from folio atlas sheets to wall maps and cased pocket maps. Subject areas include hydrographic charts, celestial maps, geological surveys, and military campaign maps.

Each map is an original print from the period stated — not reproductions. Browse by region, period, or mapmaker to explore one of Australia’s most comprehensive collections of genuine antique maps.
