Another well-preserved mid-nineteenth century travellers' map, this example with fine maps of Tasmania and, unusually, New Guinea, rich in detail with settlements both small and large, landscape features and new railway lines marked for the use of emigrants to Australia. The map is entirely as issued, housed within the publishers folding cloth case with an index of place names and co-ordinates to the inner flap of the front cover.

In Printed Maps of Tasmania Tooley notes two maps titled Van Diemen's Land, but does not list this folding map titled 'Tasmania and New Guinea'. The colony was officially known as Tasmania from January of 1856, indicating the map was issued after this date; furthermore, the publisher's details list Philip's address at Fleet Street, premises occupied from 1856 onwards. The presence of the railway lines, notably the line from Hobart to Launceston, would effectively confirm a date sometime in the 1880s. This is further confirmed by the naming of "Emperor William's Land" on the north coast of New Guinea.
