Description

Rare illustrated map of the Northwest Coast of America and Northeast Coast of Asia, which appeared in the first German edition of the Account of Cook's Voyages.

The map includes a fantastic view of Snug Corner Harbor in Prince Williams Sound.

The coastline is well presented with hachure showing mountains, sections of coastlines and islands with place names and soundings. The tracks of the 1778 and 1779 exploration are shown, Cook having done the former and Clerke the latter after Cook's death in Hawaii in Feb. 1779.

The maps from the German edition are very rare on the market and the only edition to include illustrations on the map.
