Description
A good example of Carey's map of the World, showing the three voayages of Captain James Cook, each indicated with a different type of line on the map. Van Diemen's Land is still attached to Australia and New Zealand includes a primitive shape. The NW Coast of America is still largely inaccurate and the area of Alaska and Canada above the Arctic Circle is a vague and conjectural, with Cook's furtherest northern point in July 1779 noted. Several fields of ice which were encountered around the Antarctic Circle are also noted. Minor staining at the centerfold and minor offsetting, else a good example.
