New Zealand is well mapped, but parts of the coasts of Australia, New Guinea, Tierra del Fuego, etc. are yet unknown. This map was published before the information from Cook's third voyage was known. Hand-colored. Good to very good antique condition with some image transfer from text on the right side, some darkness near the left side fold. With folds as issued. Measures approx. 7 x 13 inches to the neatline and 14 x 19 inches including the mat.
