Antique Captain Cook Hawkesworth's 1773 1st Ed Map The Cocos & Traitor Islands

Description

Pleased to offer a map of the Cocos Island and Traitors Island featured in Hawkesworth's 1773 First Edition of the First Cook Expedition to the area.  Both islands are just north of Tonga
They are better known by the names
Boscawen
and
Keppel
given to them by Wallis in 1767, but the Tongan names are Tafahi and Niuatobutabu.
Tafahi and Niuatoputapu were discovered by Willem Schouten and Jacob Le Maire in 1616. They named Cocos Island because of the abundance of coconut palms and Traitors Island due to the ruse by the natives who appeared peaceful but then attacked.
The Map measure 9" by 11" and is in great condition, but for minor aging and a light foxing at the top right.  Enjoy a great piece of history !!!!
