Bellin, Nicolas, Paris 1753, Carte Reduite de la Mer Du Sud Pour servir a l'Histoire generale des Voyages, 25.5 x 38 cm, Plate dimensions 20.5 x 35.5 cm. Australia is attached to New Guinea and Tasmania attached to the mainland. The east coast is entirely imaginary. New Zealand includes only its western coast in an incomplete fashion. This map is remarkable in its historical significance, timed only a few years before the commencement of an intense campaign by the English and French to explore and map Oceana and the South Pacific.
