Description / Descripción

Two very early detailed plans showing Botany Bay and the Entry to Endeavour River, from the first French edition of the Official Account of Cook's voyage to Australia, Paris, 1774.

Both harbour charts are oriented towards the north and show details about where to find water, depth of the water before the coast, landmarks and places to anchor.

This map was engraved by Robert Bénard for the 1774 French edition of Hawkesworth's 1773 account of Cook's voyages.

It follows the 1772-1773 English edition engraved by William Whitchurch and published in 1773.
