EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "ii. (a) Four profiles of the coast of Terra del Fuego (b) A plan of Success Bay in Strait le Maire (c) A chart of the S. E. part of Terra del Fuego" captures a remarkable piece of cartographic history. Engraved by T. Borven and J. Gibson in 1769, this engraving showcases the meticulous surveying and mapping work conducted by Captain James Cook during his second voyage from 1772 to 1775. The image reveals four detailed profiles of the coastline, providing a visual representation of the elevation and mountainous terrain found along Terra del Fuego's shores. The archipelago's rugged beauty is further highlighted through an intricately designed plan depicting Success Bay in Strait le Maire. This historical artifact offers valuable insights into early exploration efforts as it showcases Captain Cook's expeditionary route through South America, specifically Argentina's southernmost region. The map also includes various numbered islands within its boundaries, contributing to our understanding of geographical features discovered during this period. Preserved at Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this engraving serves as a testament to Captain Cook's pioneering spirit and his significant contributions to maritime exploration during the eighteenth century. It stands as a reminder not only of his first voyage but also highlights the importance placed on accurate cartography for future expeditions that followed.
