Port Darwin, Albany and Geraldton appear with a carved gateway in New Zealand and maps of Tasmania and the Northern Territory in the Picturesque atlas of Australasia. Issued by the Picturesque Atlas Publishing Company, the work dates here from 1888 and joins geographical mapping with illustrated accounts of places. Railways and telegraph routes mark the communication networks on the maps, while the town views concentrate on buildings, setting and the viewpoint chosen to introduce each locality.
