Map of the World with the New Discoverie…

Very up to date world map for its time based on Henry Roberts (1756–1796) world map on Mercator’s projection showing Cook’s discoveries and his contribution to the overall knowledge of world cartography. These included his discovery of the east coast of Australia, his charting of New Zealand, his explorations into southern waters, his discovery of the Hawaiian Islands and explorations in search of a northwest passage which are all noted on here.
