Add MS 15500

Title:

22 charts and views, mostly taken during Captain James Cook's voyage in the Resolution through the Pacific and Southern Oceans

Scope & Content:

Twenty charts, many with views appended, which were taken during the voyage of Captain James Cook in the Resolution, where he sailed through the Pacific and Southern Oceans.

There are also two views depicting islands off the coast of Brazil, which appear to be unrelated to the voyages of James Cook.

Add MS 15500 consisted of a guard book, bound in half leather with marbled boards. The volume has since been disbound.
