‘Map of the Auckland District. 1852.’ Published by Smith, Elder & Co. London, & J. Williamson, Auckland, 1853. Watercolour, ink and pencil on printed map, 327 × 407 mm. Fragment with annotations by Hochstetter. Hochstetter Collection Basel, HCB 3.2.14; Nolden and Nolden 2013: 25. Note: This map was originally issued folded and bound into the book: William Swainson, Auckland, The Capital of New Zealand, and the country adjacant: Including some account of the gold discovery in New Zealand (London: Smith, Elder & Co., J. Williamson, 1853), with the title page including the reference “With a Map of the Auckland District, from recent surveys”. The map was very likely also sold separately, as the Auckland Provincial Government was invoiced by William Chisholm Wilson (1810–1876), bookseller and stationer in Shortland Street, for a number of books, charts, and maps for the “Austrian Expedition”, including on 27 December 1858 for two copies each of ‘Entrances to the Manukau’, ‘Auckland Harbour’, and a ‘Map Auckland District’ (Fig. 10). On 5 January 1859 copies of each of the following [Admiralty] charts were invoiced: ‘Tauranga Harbour’, ‘Wangari’, ‘Wangaruru’, ‘Kawau’, ‘Rangaounuo’, and ‘Whaingaroa’, for full titles see catalogue (Hydrographic Office 1857). The books supplied on 23 December 1858 were Sir George Grey, Maori Mythology; William Williams, A Dictionary of the New Zealand Language (second edition was published in 1852), and a pamphlet by Richard Taylor (Auckland War Memorial Museum 1860 AWMM MS-18).
