Production continued until the first World War at which point they turned to comic books and game books. The earliest picture sheets were printed from wood-blocks and coloured by hand. The colouring was later added by stencils and finally by a specially-made stencil machine. Arnold Arnold has amassed an extensive collection of these picture and construction sheets, most of which date from the early part of this century.

By 1822 several of the charts published in 1814 were obsolete so they were revised, and the whole atlas was reissued by the Hydographical Office of the Admiralty. Some plates were issued with the statement "Corrected to 1822" and the remaining plates, including the coastal profiles and botanical illustrations were issued with the revised imprint and the Hydrographical Office seal, and, in the case of the charts, with compass roses and rhumb-lines. The complete atlas was not again issued by the Hydographical Office, but as time passed individual plates were revised and reprinted, reprinted without revision, or withdrawn as necessary. In the present copy 8 charts are later issues of the maps, published by the Hydographical Office to the Admiralty rather than by G. & W. Nicol, and all 8 are watermarked "J. Whatman Turkey Mills 1834". These 8 charts comprise: Chart no. 1 [General chart of Terra Australis, or Australia from the surveys of Capt. Flinders and King, with additions from Lieut.

In this copy the ten botanical plates are on slightly smaller and thinner paper than the charts and are not watermarked. Ferguson 576; Perry & Prescott, p.164-165.

The original purpose of Cook`s first voyage was to observe the transit of Venus. This was accomplished at Tahiti but six months were then spent on the coast of New Zealand, which was circumnavigated and charted for the first time, as was the east coast of Australia. It was of course Cook who named New South Wales and naturalists on the expedition who named Botany Bay. The second voyage disproved the myth of the existence of a further southern continent and made the first crossing of the Antarctic Circle. Numerous further explorations were undertaken and discoveries made, including the New Hebrides, New Caledonia and South Georgia. Knowledge of the South Pacific was given a firm basis for the first time and the maps made then remain valid today. The final voyage was principally directed towards the search for a Northwest Passage from the Pacific, culminating in Cook`s tragic murder in the Hawaiian Islands. The second edition of the first voyage differs from the first in that it contains a Preface to the second edition, in which Hawkesworth replies to the charges made against him by Alexander Dalrymple, and in that each volume is separately paginated.

After sending his despatches from Botany Bay the expedition was never heard of again but the remains of his ships were later found on Vanikor, one of the Santa Cruz islands.

This voyage became one of the most important ever made in the interests of geographical knowledge. Vancouver sailed by way of the Cape of Good Hope to Australia, where he discovered King George`s sound and Cape Hood, then to New Zealand, Hawaii, and the northwest coast of America. In three seasons` work Vancouver surveyed the coast of California, visited San Francisco and San Diego and other Spanish settlements in Alta California... investigated the Strait of Juan de Fuca, discovered the Strait of Georgia, circumnavigated Vancouver Island, and disproved the existence of any passage between the Pacific and Hudson Bay`` The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages, pp.303-4.
