- Very rare Ottoman printed map of the world with text in Arabic but written in Ottoman Turkish script. The map features the three exploratory voyages of the Pacific by British explorer Captain James Cook in the years 1768-1771, 1772-1775, and 1776-1779 (this is outlined in the bottom left corner of the map). Exploratory routes of the HMS Endeavour (1st voyage), HMS Resolution & HMS Adventure (2nd voyage), and HMS Resolution & HMS Discovery (3rd voyage), are time-dated. Australia is marked as 'New Holland' in Turkish script and a few places along its coastal outline are also named. Note that the Australian continent is still depicted as conjoined with Tasmania. Only 50 copies were printed at the the Engineer's School Printing Press.
