Zustand: Fine. This fascinating engraving is from Captain James Cook's "A Voyage towards the South Pole, and Round the World, Performed in his Majesty's Ships the Resolution and Adventure, in the Years 1772, 1773, 1774, and 1775". This is from the third edition of the work and was published London by W. Strahan and T. Cadell in 1779. --- "The famous accounts of Captain Cook's three voyages form the basis for any collection of Pacific books. In three great voyages Cook did more to clarify the geographical knowledge of the southern hemisphere than all his predecessors had done together. He was really the first scientific navigator and his voyages made great contributions to many fields of knowledge." (Hill) --- "Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilization and by the foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia, and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent, as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of antarctic land in the southern ice ring, a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century." (Printing and the Mind of Man p.135) --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor marks to be expected with age. Some of the fold out engravings from this work could display some offset or wear to fold. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 19" by 11 1/2" (Fold Out). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers cook059
