Antique Map of New Ireland with 7 Coastal Profiles

About the Item

Antique print titled 'l'Isle St. Jean (..) - Cap St. George (..)'. Antique map of New Ireland, an island in the Bismarck Archipelago, New Guinea. Lying just north of New Britain, from which it is separated by St. George's Channel, it was once believed to be part of one landmass combining New Britain and New Guinea. This theory was disproved in 1767 when Philip Carteret found St. George's Channel and named the island, Nova Hibernia. The other prints depict islands also part of the Bismarck Archipelago. Published in an edition of John Hawkesworth's atlas to accompany a French edition of Captain James Cook's voyages to the Southern Hemisphere. Published 1774.
