von Reilly, Franz Johann Joseph (sold)
Franz Johann Joseph von Reilly (August 18, 1766 – July 6, 1820) was an Austrian author, humorist, cartographer, and map publisher active in the late 18th century and early 20th century. Joseph was born in Vienna, Austria, the the son of court master John Reilly. He initially worked in the Austrian Civil Service, but was apparently unpaid and unsuccessful in that operation, quitting the position after 3 years. With significant wealth inherited from his father, Reilly dedicated himself to printing and cartography, publishing several major atlases between 1789 and 1806. He is most famous for publishing the Grosser Deutscher Atlas (1794 - 1796), the first world atlas fully published and produced by an Austrian. This atlas was probably in spired by Franz Anton Schrämbl's (1751 - 1803) Allgemeiner Grosser Atlass. During his career he produced thousands of maps and multiple atlases, but retired form cartography in 1806.

This important 1796 map of Australia and Polynesia is one of the very few maps to use the indigenous terms for Australia and New Zealand: Ulimaora (Australia), Tavai-Poenammoo (New Zealand South Island) and Ealiei-Nomauwe (North Island). All three of these terms are extracted from accounts of Cook's voyages. (more details)

This is Johannes Walch's 1802 map of Australia and Oceania, including the East Indies, the Philippines, China, Korea, and Japan. Overall, Walch presents the whole as a 'Fifth part of the world,' extending further the terminology established by Ptolemy, in which the world - formerly composed of the three parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa - had already been amended with America, the Fourth part of the world. The map extends from Sumatra and Cambodia, eastwards to include Hawaii and the Marquesas Islands. It was printed in order to celebrate the exploration of the region of the prior two centuries, most particularly those of Captain James Cook (1728 - 1779). The map includes the Dutch voyages of the 17th century, notably Abel Tasman's (1603 - 1659) voyage in 1642, and shows the tracks of Captains Marshall, Byron, Wallis, Bougainville. The map is dominated by the tracks of Cook, however, underscoring the achievements of that explorer. The tracks of all three of Cook's great voyages appear here: his 1768-1771 observation of the Transit of Venus at Tahiti; his 1772-5 search for the legendary great southern continent, (during which he crossed the Antarctic Circle three times) and his fatal third expedition to seek the Northwest Passage, during which he met his end in Hawaii. New Zealand is shown as two islands with with its shores charted as per Cook's first voyage. Maori placenames are used, represented with phonetic spellings. Australia is shown complete (albeit with a 'coast never traveled' noted in German.) (more details)
