Large vintage double-sided wall map printed on linen-backed paper, featuring a detailed world map titled “Map of the British Empire” on one side and a richly illustrated “Fertile South Australia” map on the reverse.

The South Australia side shows towns, railways, roads, districts and an alphabetical index of cities and towns, making it both a fascinating historical document and a striking decorative wall display. Originally issued folded, this large-format map opens out beautifully and has wonderful heritage character and visual presence.
