• Notes:
  Map of the South Pole showing what was then known of Australia and New Zealand and nothing of Antarctica. Guillaume de l’Isle’s well deserved reputation as one of the foremost geographers of the 18th century meant that his maps were influential for many years after his death. He eradicated, as much as possible, imaginary geography in his maps.
