Description: Originally Engraved by John Lodge Junior and published London 1797, this map of the Pacific Ocean depicts Australia as New Holland, (not named Australia until Matthew Flinders published the account of his Voyage, Voyage to Terre Australis , in 1814 ) with the East Coast place names as given by Captain Cook, and Van Diemen’s Land linked to the mainland. (George Bass and Flinders circumnavigated the island in 1797 but the knowledge did not reach the Amiralty until 1799). It names and dates the Principal Dutch discoveries on the West coast. Lodge Jr. gives a more detail depiction than on any map so far and includes Adventure Bay and Cape Tribulation. Note the area of the south Australian gulfs first published by the French in 1811, is noted here as a dotted line, hence designated "unknown".
