Sobre este artículo
Hamburg: Hoffmann, 1791. Hardcover. Very good overall. The third German edition of 'The Voyage of Governor Phillip to Botany Bay' including an important folding map, not recorded by Tooley, showing the eastern seaboard of Australia, extending from New Guinea, New Caledonia, New Zealand and the Marshall Islands. The coast of 'Neu Holland' shows "Neu Sud Wallis [endeckt?] 1770", and Botany Bay and Port Jackson with "Sidney cove". Port Jackson and Botany Bay are exaggerated in size. The map, titled 'Charte von Neu Holland, Neu Georgien und den Lord Mulgrave Inseln', is not listed in Tooley but is referenced as no. 1791-16 in Perry & Prescott's "A Guide to Maps of Australia in Books Published 1780-1830..." Neither of the first two German editions appear in Ferguson, an abbreviated version of 86 pages with one map & 1 plate (Leipzig: 1789) and the second in Berlin in 1790. There is a 20pp account of Gilbert's voyage from Port Jackson to Canton, with separate section-title.

Period three quarter tan leather and tan speckled papered boards. Spine quite rubbed and chipped, lacking top half inch; gilt title on spine; paper shelf label with number at base of spine. Internally, folding map with a short diagonal closed tear repaired just below Neu Guinea, not affecting Neu Holland; the interior very bright and clean.
