Late 18th-century double hemisphere world map showing countries and colonies. The explorers' routes of Cook and Anson are marked and dated. The cartouche is in an ornate rococo style, with a floral and vine motif. A small inset hemispheric map appears in the top center showing the world from 50 degrees Latitude to the North Pole. Lines of latitude are also noted on the principal map.
The engraving is by John Lodge, active in London c. 1754-94, who engraved maps for Gentleman's Magazine from 1754 to 1772 and Political Magazine from 1780 to 1790, as well as for many other works. He also engraved portraits and at least one satirical print.
