Note that J2032 is also a dyeline copy draught of the 'Bounty' launch plans (not yet cataloged on the system but ref. no ZAZ8748). It is an enlarged but otherwise identical copy of the the engraving by Mackenzie originally published in Bligh's published account of the 'Bounty' voyage ('A Voyage to the South Sea...', 1792). Note also that the drawing has been flipped vertically.
