The Tasman Map delves into the story of the firstDutch voyages to Australia, set against the background of the struggle of thenewly formed Dutch Republic to gain its independence from the Kingdom of Spain and the struggleof the Dutch East India Company for trade supremacy in the East Indies against itsPortuguese, Spanish and English rivals. Over a period of only forty years from1606 to 1644 and based on sixteen separate discoveries the first mapof Australia took shape. The Tasman Map shows a recognisable outline of the north, west andsouth coasts of Australia that was not to change for another 125 years until the British explorer JamesCook charted the east coast in 1770.It was in 1925 and 1933 that the MitchellLibrary in Sydney, Australia, acquired both the Tasman Huydecoper Journaland the Tasman Bonaparte Map. The story of how the library managed to acquire thesetreasures of Dutch exploration and cartography will bring new recognition to these icons of both Dutch andAustralian history.
