Detailed, large scale late c.19th map of New Guinea, with an inset of Part of the South Coast by F. Lawes, with good detail, including inland information, made just before the country became an Australian protectorate.
The protectorate, called British New Guinea, was annexed by Britain outright on 4 September 1888. The territory was transferred to the newly federated Commonwealth of Australia on 18 March 1902, and British New Guinea became the Territory of Papua, with Australian administration beginning in 1906.
