Description
Finely executed mapof the Northwest Coast of America and Northeast Coast of Asia, which appeared in a Dutch edition of the Account of Cook's Voyages.
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 Dutch edition of the map is quite scarce on the market, with only one listing in AMPR in the past 15 years.
Reference
Kershaw, K.A. #1179, pl.927.
