A decorative and highly sought after edition of Cook's mapping of New Zealand, this edition delineates two islands, tentatively identifying the Southern Island as separate. The map shows Cook's tracks around the island, along with astronomical observations and includes native and European placenames. Zatta's map was drawn from information provided in Cook's Voyages. The decorative cartouche shows a Maori village scene.
