Map Of Oceania 1843 French Antique Geographic Map Hand Coloured Copper Engraving

This map is titled Carte de L'Océanie (Map of Oceania).

The map spans the Pacific Ocean from Southeast Asia to the American coast, featuring Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, Micronesia and Malaysia.

Australia is labeled as both "Australie" and "Nouvelle Hollande" (New Holland). It is also described with the French phrase "pays inconnu" (unknown country) in certain areas.

Maps from this era are particularly valued for showing the evolving European understanding of the region, including misidentified coastlines and speculative interiors of the Australian continent.

Some foxing on map as shown in photos.
