The Picturesque Atlas of Australasia was one of the first best-sellers of Australian publishing. Despite its title, it contained relatively few maps. Instead, it attempted, in words and pictures, to describe Australia and is a revealing marker of an emerging nation. This map of Tasmania, drawn by Alex. J. Scally, is filled with details and includes an inset of King Island.
