Description:
Detailed small map of Australia with little inland exploration shown other than the course of Darling River, shown as a dotted line coloured in red. In 1828 Charles Sturt was sent by Governor Sir Ralph Darling, to investigate the course of the Macquarie River, discovering the Bogan River and in early 1829, the upper Darling, which he named after the Governor. In 1835, Major Thomas Mitchell travelled a 483 kilometre portion of the river.
Mapmaker:
Sidney Hall (1788 – 1831)
A London engraver from 1817 to 1860 who worked at first from 18 Strand, and moved to Bury street Bloomsbury in 1819. He engraved general atlases and separate maps for various authors and publishers. Upon his early death – he was only in his 40’s – Hall’s business was inherited and continued by his wife, Selina Hall.
