1846rif. 25916Paris: French Admiralty chart 1846. Very rare early map of the south west coast of Western Australia just 17 years after the founding of the colony. The map covers much of the Western Australian coast from the Dampier Archipelago in the north Broome Exmouth Gulf Shark Bay Perth Geographe Bay Cape Leeuwin Albany all the way to Port Lincoln in South Australia.
