EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving of a Map of Sydney, circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the past with its intricate details and old-fashioned charm. The map, sourced from the 10th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, showcases the coastline of Sydney with Botany Bay and the Pacific Ocean prominently featured.
The Western script used on this map adds to its historical significance, providing a window into how navigation equipment was depicted in the 19th century. The white background allows for easy focus on the detailed city map, complete with numbers indicating specific locations.
As you study this print closely, you can almost imagine early explorers using it as guidance during their journeys through Australia. The precision and artistry involved in creating this illustration is evident in every line and symbol.
With no people present in the image, it feels like a snapshot frozen in time - a reminder of how much has changed since 1900. This vertical cut-out print would make an excellent addition to any collection focused on cartography or Australian history.
Overall, this Map of Sydney engraving is not just a piece of artwork but also a valuable historical document that captures the essence of exploration and discovery from over a century ago.
