About the Item

Antique print titled 'Isles de la Reine Charlotte (..)'. A detailed chart of the Santa Cruz islands, to the north of the New Hebrides, with Carteret's track in "Swallow"; including an inset chart of Carteret and Gower Islands. Relief is shown by hachuring; vegetation is marked by small tree-symbols, revealing that the tops of the mountains were wooded. Along the explored coast of the "Isle Du Lord Egmont", palm trees and huts have been drawn, perhaps marking native settlements. A particularly detailed volcano spewing smoke is shown in profile to the North of this island. Prevailing winds are marked with arrows. Originates from 'Geschichte der See-Reisen und Entdeckungen im Süd-Meer welche auf Befehl Sr. Großbrittanischen Majestät unternommen, und von Commodore Byron, Capitain Wallis, Capitain Carteret und Capitain Coockim Dolphin, der Swallow, und dem Endeavour nach einander ausgeführt worden sind (..)'. Artists and Engravers: Published by Haude & Spener, Berlin. Condition: Very good, general age-related toning. Please study image carefully.
