1866
Picture of the Country of New Holland South Wales
Tsukioka YoshitoshiJapanese, 1839 - 1892

The insertion of "Holland" in the title reveals the confusion about geographic names and locations that Japanese artists had at this time, although they were rapidly expanding their knowledge of other countries.
