Charting the birth of a city, this rare 1884 cream and crimson map outlines Walkerville, the pioneering first suburb of Cairns. With its elegant 19th century artwork depicting the original estate layout and land divisions, this map provides unique insight into the European founding of the Far North Queensland capital. A highly collectible piece of Cairns history.
PS -
Prints are created using archival pigment inks on 250 gsm acid-free paper with a matte finish.
We leave a small white border of 10-15mm around the image area to protect it during shipping, to avoid fingerprints while being handled, and to allow for framing (prints do not come framed).
Prints will be carefully rolled and mailed in a protective tube.
