Description
A map of Anson's voyage around the world from the French edition of the voyage published in 1750. It was engraved by Lattre and is identical to the English edition "A Chart Shewing the Track of the Centurion Round the World…" except for the French place names and title.
The track of the voyage and California represented as an island remain the most notable features of the map - one of the last maps to do so.
While Great Britain was fighting the War with Spain in 1740, Commodore George Anson led a squadron of eight ships on a mission to disrupt or capture the Pacific Ocean possessions of the Spanish Empire.
Returning to Britain in 1744 by way of China and thus completing a circumnavigation of the globe, the voyage was notable for the capture of the Manila Galleon but also for horrific losses from disease with only 188 men of the original 1,854 surviving.

An account of the voyage was published in 1748 which being widely read by the general public was a great commercial success and "is still esteemed as the story of a remarkable voyage extremely well told".
The map is centered on Australia.
