Item description from seller

Map. 36 cms by 15. Among Captain Cook's achievements on his first Voyage was the confirmation that Torres Strait separated New Guinea and Australia, although Cook had himself expressed doubts of its existence. This chart marks the southern coastline he verified, with the rest of the outline taken from earlier explorers. To the north of the island are the ‘tracts’ of Dampier and Carteret around New Britain and New Ireland inc Dampier’s return voyage in 1700. Hand- coloured -a very clean and attractive map. Book seller’s label (not on the map) dates it 1785. Alex Hogg at the King’s Arms Paternoster Row is noted as the publisher in italics below the map. Very good indeed.
