Map of Australasia and Antarctica, 1739. 'Cartes des Terres Australes, Comprises entre le Tropique du Capricorne et le Pôle Antarctique'. Maps of the Southern Lands, between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Pole. The map shows the globe south of the Tropic of Capricorn, suggesting that the South Pole lay at the centre of a 'glacial ocean' rather than a continental landmass. The map is accompanied by text describing, in French, the expedition, commanded by Bouvet, which led to the map's production.
