This German map of the South Pacific Ocean features the tracks of numerous explorers, including Cook, Tasman, Marshall, Byron, Wallace, Bougainville, and more. There is excellent detail of place names along the coastline of Australia and New Zealand, and numerous tiny islands are named as far east as French Polynesia. New Zealand is labeled by its Maori names. New Guinea is still presented in a very rudimentary shape. This map was revised and republished in 1820, 1824, and 1826. This is the first edition.
