  “CARTE REDUITE DE LA MER DU SUD” by Nicholas Bellin, Paris 1753
  An important map; Australia is attached to New Guinea and Tasmania attached to the mainland. The east coast is entirely imaginary. New Zealand includes only its western coast in an incomplete fashion. This map is remarkable in its historical significance, timed only a few years before the commencement of an intense campaign by the English and French to explore and map Oceania and the South Pacific.
