The map has been extensively updated through numerous revisions. This one includes the new information for Cook's discoveries in the Northwest and Alaska in an inset "Supplement a la Partie Nord-Ouest de l'Amerique d'apres les Decouvertes du Capitaine Cook". Fully colored, garland style title cartouche and another cartouche containing an advertisement.
