Captain Cook's charting of the East Coast of Australia.

A Chart of New South Wales or the East Coast of New Holland Discovered and Explored by Lieutenant J. Cook Commander of His Majesty’s Bark Endeavour in 1770.

On the first of his three voyages between 1768 and 1779, Captain James Cook discovered and charted the east coast of New Holland (as it was then known), & named it New South Wales.

This Limited Edition chart is black and white as printed.
