About this Item
Very rare and historically important chart by Matthew Flinders from the elephant folio deluxe issue of Flinders's famous atlas of the Queensland coast from Northumberland Islands to Flat Isles. In the deluxe issue elephant folio format issue of the atlas the large charts such as this one, were bound with only a centre fold, rather than with multiple folds as found in the smaller sized standard issue of the atlas. The tracks of the Norfolk in 1799, Investigator in 1802 and Porpoise, Cato, Bridgewater, Cumberland, Rolla and Francis in 1803 are shown. With an inset of coast from Keppel Bay to Bustard Bay. From: Flinders's, A Voyage to Terra Australis.
