[edit] Summary

This is a map of the land grants around the Swan River, Western Australia in 1839. The map was drawn by John Arrowsmith from the survey data of John Septimus Roe. This version is a slight adaption of the original that appeared in Nathaniel Ogle's 1839 publication The Colony of Western Australia.

The image was scanned from a reproduction in

Appleyard, R. T. and Toby Manford (1979). The Beginning: European Discovery and Early Settlement of Swan River Western Australia, Nedlands, Western Australia: University of Western Australia Press. ISBN 0855641460.

Due to its age, the image is in the public domain under both Australian and U.S. Copyright Law.

[edit] Licensing

Public domain This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.


Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.
