A Chart Of The Indian Sea And Eastern Ocean ...
|
A large, attractive and detailed chart extending from the Cape to the Pacific incorporating the eastern African, Arabian and South East Asian coasts as far north as Japan and all of Australia, on two sheets joined. This issue was published by Robert Sayer & John Bennett who had taken over Thomas Jefferys' printing plates on his bankruptcy in 1766 and after his death in 1771, however we can find no record of an earlier Jefferys issue. Published in the "East India Pilot" the chart features a notably large-scale updated delineation of Australia after Cook's explorations with the East coast plotted but hypothetically joined to Tasmania.
