This is the Italian edition of this fine early chart depicting both the North and South islands, as well as Stewart Island in the south. Dumont d'Urville circumnavigated the globe for the second time between 1826 and 1829. On this expedition his accomplishments included significant Pacific discoveries and contributions to the mapping of New Zealand. His records were so detailed that for the first time the scattered islands of the South Pacific could be divided into three major groups: Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia.
