Description:
Copper-engraved map, hand-colored in outline, colored pictorial cartouche. 44x35.3 cm (17¼x14").
Zatta's finely engraved map of New Zealand, with a complete map of the two islands' coastlines. Zatta closely copied James Cook's original chart, first published in the account of his voyages in 1773, which Zatta attributes in a note at bottom right. The chart shows the track of the Endeavour from Cook's first voyage, with dates and soundings. The interior of the islands reflects the mountainous topography.Cook's fame as a cartographer is based to a significant extent on his mapping of New Zealand on his first Pacific voyage of exploration.
Condition
Right margin trimmed close to neat line, other margins previously folded over when in earlier frame, with archivally repaired tear along one of them; a few small soil spots to map, clean and near fine with crisp impression.
