Lot Details
300x180mm, Note: John Hamilton Moore (1738-1807) was a navigation teacher and author. He was born in Edinburgh, educated in Ireland, and joined the-Royal Navy at Plymouth. During the 1700s many people were exploring new lands and establishing trade routes. Chronicles about travel became popular. In 1778, Moore wrote one of the best travel chronicles of the period. He called it "A New and Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels". Moore said his work was "embellished with a superb and elegant set of copper plate engravings and maps".
