Norfolk Island Allotment Map "HANDS OFF"

A historical cadastral map presents Norfolk Island as a densely divided field of numbered land allotments, outlined in delicate black lines against a pale blue ground. Hand-lettered annotations identify the 1856 date, Pitcairn settlers, and Government Reserve, while an oval royal portrait and a circular island seal lend the document a ceremonial, official character. The combination of diagrammatic geography, decorative emblems, and archival lettering gives the piece the feel of a colonial-era presentation map.
