A Vintage Cartographic Masterpiece from the Lady Northcote Atlas of Australia
Step back in time with this beautifully reproduced Northern Territory Wall Map, originally published in 1908 as part of H.E.C. Robinson’s Lady Northcote Atlas of Australia. Carefully enlarged from the original plate, this historic map offers a captivating glimpse into the political and geographic understanding of Australia's vast northern frontier in the early 20th century.
This is more than a map—it’s a piece of Australian cartographic heritage.
Historical Significance
Commissioned during a period of rapid exploration and colonial expansion, this map illustrates the Northern Territory in the decades before it gained self-governance, when vast regions remained sparsely mapped. It reflects a fascinating blend of topography, pastoral leases, rail routes (proposed and existing), administrative boundaries, and early settlement markers.
