About This Item
London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, 1811. Print. Overall very good condition. Cooke's version is after an engraving from a drawing by John Webber in 1779 from "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean." Captain James Cook [1782 - 1779] made three voyages to the Pacific and encountered Pacific cultures for the first time, but also brought back to Europe the first large-scale collection of Pacific objects. John Webber was the artist on Cook's third voyage 1776-1780. This image most likely is part of a ceremony when Cook was greeted in Hawaii. From "Scenery of the East India Islands, Etc." Copper engraving, 8.25 x 11", with stain in lower right corner not affecting image.
