About This Item
London: John Stockdale, Scatcherd and Whitaker, John Fielding, and John Hardy. 1778. Engraving, large print. Light foxing; overall in very good condition. According to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, the Resolution, Cook's ship, made its journey to Prince William Sound in May 1778. "The sitter may possibly be the man who came aboard the Resolution on 14 May 1778. Cook called him a 'good looking middle aged man . . . He was cloathed in a dress made of the Sea beaver skin and on his head such a cap as is worn by the people of King Georges Sound, Ornamented with sky blue glass beads about the size of a large pea.' " Captain James Cook made three voyages throughout the Pacific. He made first contact between European & Pacific cultures. Somewhat infamously, Cook was killed in Hawaii in 1779.; 22" x 16.5" .
