This anonymous, undated map is a historical cartographic depiction of the coastline of Tasmania. The image focuses on "Avontuur-Baai" which translates to Adventure Bay. While the exact date is unknown, it is believed to be from 1801 due to the inscription at the top of the page and the inscription in Dutch, “Gezigt van de Zuid-xyde yan de Avontuur-Baai,” meaning “View of the south side of Adventure Bay.” The map showcases the detailed landscape of the area, with the shoreline, terrain, and some possible landmarks, making it a fascinating piece of early cartography.
