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).

Original half dark brown morocco and light brown watered cloth with a very large 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'); original leather worn at the extremities, but the spine and corners are renewed with leather, retaining the original backstrip (unlettered, with blind rules) and corners; cloth a little marked and unevenly discoloured, with minor wear to the edges (now consolidated); endpapers a little rubbed; two maps (13 and 17) have a thin strip along the bottom edge of one half expertly stabilised; minimal signs of age and use (including a handful of tiny sealed edge tears); a very good copy (internally excellent) of a rare and impressive atlas.

Lithographed throughout by Frazer S. Crawford (Government Printer); signed on the double-page title 'G.W. Goyder Sur Genl 29/6/78' with a two-digit number (71 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, 42 and 50, all signed by Goyder on the one slightly earlier date, viz. '30/5/78'. We have also sold an unnumbered copy signed and inscribed 'G.W. Goyder Sur Genl 30th Sept 1879'.)

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').
