Pub Note:
Atlas, without title, as issued. Contains ten charts and six sheets of views (profiles of parts of the coastlines). Compare the English charts to the French issues in the French Neptune of 1820. Vancouver's charts were the most accurate of the area for many years into the 19th century. In addition to the eight Northwest Coast charts, there is a "Chart shewing part of the S.W. Coast of New Holland" (with inset charts of New Zealand) and "A Chart of the Sandwich Islands." Maps are without color and bound into half leather burgundy cloth covered boards with "Atlas To Vancouvers Voyage" stamped in gilt on a red leather label on the spine. Streeter calls the accounts of the voyage, "One of the most important accounts of the exploration of the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand, and valuable source of information about Tahiti and the Hawaiian Islands in the last decade of the eighteenth century." Voyage accounts are bound in three volumes, all in half leather with green cloth boards. "Vancouver's Voyage" and the volume number embossed in gold on spine.
