"Algemeene Kaart van de Ontdekkingen van Kapit. J. Cook…", Cook, James (Capt.)

This is the uncommon, Dutch version of Cook's large-scale map of the world compiled by Lieut. Henry Roberts from Cook's surveys after the third expedition. The map is presented on Mercator's projection and centered on Australasia and the Pacific. The routes of the Endeavour (1768-71), and Resolution (1772-75 and 1776-80) are traced with occasional notes along the tracks. Lt. Robert's began his compilation under Cook's supervision and completed it after Cook's death. It was used in the official account of the third voyage. Engraved by Baarsel and printed on two joined sheets.
