Adelaide, Surveyor General's Office, 1877 [but 1878].

Elephant folio, [78] pages (title, key to maps plus 17 maps, all double-page, three-colour, and printed rectos only).

Modern half calf and cloth (a replica of the original binding) with the very large original leather title-label on the front cover (310 × 220 mm, lettered in gilt 'Atlas of Principal Portions of Settled Districts in the Province of South Australia, 1877-8'); tiny light mark to the spine; two short marginal tears expertly sealed; a very rare and impressive atlas in very fine condition - one could not hope to find a better copy.

Lithographed throughout by Frazer S. Crawford (Government Printer); signed on the double-page title 'G.W. Goyder Sur Genl 30/5/78' with a two-digit number (42 in this case) in his hand under the date - presumably the copy number of what we suggest was a very limited print run, given the lavishness of the production. [Over the decades, we have previously sold copies 34 and 50, both signed by Goyder on the same date.] The atlas was prepared under the direction of the man who, as Surveyor-General from 1861 to 1894, 'served under 24 different Commissioners of Crown Lands, through 34 changes of Ministry and helped to amend over 60 land acts' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').
