Map of Australia and New Zealand after Cook's First Voyage to the Pacific

ZATTA, Antonio.

Nuove Scoperte Fatte nel 1765, 67 e 69 nel Mare del Sud.
Venice, 1776. Original colour. 320 x 420mm.

Oceania, showing the routes of Carteret and Byron, but most importantly the discoveries made by Captain Cook, 1768-71. These include the first circumnavigation of New Zealand and the mapping of the eastern coast of Australia. The coastline of southern Australia is only guessed at. A very fine example with wide margins.
