EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing map, titled "Australia," published in The Mirror Vol. XXX, October 1837, presents a visionary proposal for a new southern settlement in Australia. Unlike other maps of the time, which primarily focused on the known European colonies, this map extends southward, suggesting a bold expansion of the British presence in the region. The New Southern Settlement, marked by the cluster of dots and the inscription "New Southern Settlement," is situated near the southern tip of the continent, in an area that was largely unexplored and unknown to Europeans at the time. The map's creator, likely an enthusiastic advocate for colonization, envisioned this settlement as a potential solution to overpopulation in Europe and a means to expand the British Empire. The map also features other points of interest, including the known European colonies of New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), and Swan River (Perth), as well as the various exploratory expeditions that had been undertaken in the region. The map's detailed topography, accurate coastlines, and clear labeling make it a valuable historical document, shedding light on the exploratory spirit and colonial ambitions of the early 19th century. This map offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the dreams and aspirations of those who sought to expand their territories and influence, as well as the limitations of knowledge and exploration during this era. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of Australia and the role that maps have played in shaping our understanding of the world.
