Exploring the South Land is a celebration of the mapmaker's art -
commencing with the 1606 voyage of Captain Willem Janszoon, the first European
to chart part of the unknown southern continent. This book documents by means of
a sequence of historical maps, the emergence of knowledge over 400 years from
the time that navigators began probing south in search of Terra Australis
Incognita until the modern outlines of Australia and Tasmania were
determined. |
