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. A note near Hawaii states, "Owhyhee where C. Cook was killed." The map is surrounded by small spheres including a polar projection, parallels, meridians and temperature zones. Engraved for Walker's Geography.
