Description

Rare Irish Edition of The Official World Map Encompassing Cook's Three Voyages.

Highly detailed map of the World on Mercator's Projection, identifying the routes of Captain James Cook's three voyages aboard the Endeavor (1768-1771) and Resolution (1772-1780).

Drawn by Lt. Roberts, who accompanied Cook on his voyages, the map provides a detailed, large format account of Cook's 3 expeditions, includes dates and the many places where Cook coasted and landed during his 12 years at sea. There are also notes from several other major discoveries in Australia and the South Pacific and annotations, providing details of the voyages and the history of the discovery of certain regions.

Originally engraved in London by William Faden, the present example was published for a Dublin edition of Cook's Voyages, re-engraved and printed by the Byrne family. A very impressive and unusual map, as the Irish editions are very often found without maps.

Condition Description
2-sheets, joined. Some offsetting and loss of lettering at the top center of the map, which appears to be present, but covered up when the two sheets were joined. A few old repairs and some minor loss at fold intersections, as is often the case.
