1775 circa - Southern Hemisphere
Large intaglio engraving from 1775 which illustrated an account of Captain Cook's second voyage. It is a map of the southern hemisphere with the traces of the voyages of the most famous navigators. Note the absence of the not yet discovered Antarctic continent. In addition, the list of numerous islands with their latitude and longitude. Very beautiful and very large. Beautiful appearance.
Dimensions: 56 x 56 cm
Please look carefully at the photos. Some marginal flaws. Many natural folds and some foxing.
