AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A glowing review of the Atlas: 'The work is superbly got up, the engravings and illustrations being works of art, the maps finished productions, and the letter press and paper all that can be desired, - as may be imagined when it is stated that the estimated cash outlay for the production of the Work has already exceeded £60,000. The Work in question gives a panorama of Australian history and life, from the days of the earliest Spanish and Dutch navigators, and the landing of Captain Cook in 1770, down to the present time [1888], with characteristic sketches of the scenery from sea, mountain, forest, and city and everything relating to our Colonial life and enterprise'.
