La Nuova Zelanda delineata sulle osservazion del Captain Cook

Single sheet. Hand col. engr. Cartographic Note: Graduated: longitude east from Rome; latitude discrepancy of half a degree between this and Cook's chart. Additional Places: New Zealand. Contents Note: Endeavour's track marked. Cassini has added a cartouche showing Endeavour at anchor with naval officers and indigenous people (presumably Maori, though they resemble Zoffany's Hawaiians) in the foreground.
Adapted from the Longmate engraving of Cook's chart published in Parkinson's Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas, 1773.
