- Collectibles Notes:
- Only 150 copies were printed in this large format and few have survived uncut with the publisher's original green cloth covers. As a bonus the second volume contains the 10 original botanical plates that are usually found in the Atlas. It is accompanied by a replacement Atlas which is described as the Magg's Bros collation (Maggs Brothers was established in 1853) which contains some original charts as well as a number of official charts issued by the Hydrographic Department of the Admiralty in about 1835 on 1834 watermarked paper. These are based on those of Flinders maps , but are brought up to date from the surveys of P.P.King, D'Entrecasteaux, Freycinet, and others. The Atlas also contains a further 10 botanical plates. Condition:
- Although the covers to the volumes have had some minor repairs, internally the pages are relatively clean. The Atlas has losses to the spine but the contents are in very good condition
