This attractive, double-hemisphere world map outlines the numerous tracks of Captain Cook on his three major voyages. Cartographically, Alaska is coming into form but still somewhat misshapen, New Zealand is completely mapped, and just a bit of Australia's southern coastline is incomplete. Surrounded by an architectural border with the hemispheres adorned by a pediment identifying the Old and New Worlds. Decorated by a drape-style title cartouche surrounded by flora, native costumes and weaponry.
