Antique print titled 'Begraafplaats op het eiland Amsterdam'.

Engraved view of a local cemetery on Amsterdam Island, a small French territory in the southern Indian Ocean. Originates from 'Reizen Rondom de Waereld door James Cook (..)'.

Cook made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean, during which he achieved the first recorded European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand.
