"Map of the World from the Best Authorities", Guthrie, William

This double hemispheric world map incorporates the discoveries of Capt. Cook. Of interest is the depiction of a huge New South Wales that stretches across the entire east coast of New Holland from Van Diemens Land (still attached) to the Cape York Peninsula. New Guinea's southern coastline is indistinctly drawn. A note near Hawaii states, "Owhyhee where C. Cook was killed." Engraved by B. Baker.
