- Description
Shows two images, rearranged from originals by Williams Hodges. In the upper half there is the woman of Santa Christina with a blue scarf around her head and shoulders. Beside her is the Chief, with a feathered headdress and pink robes. In the lower half, the items on Hodges "Ornaments and weapons at the Marquesas" are shown in an arrangement different from that produced after Hodges by Charles Chapman, but all the same items are present.
The ornaments and weapons, identified in Joppien & Smith's "Art of Captain Cook's voyages" (1985), volume 2, page 207, are: a gorget ornamented with red pease; an ornament for the head; a club; a head-dress; a fan.
From an unknown Italian publication. One of the etchers was Angelo Biasioli, 1790-1830.
Cook was in the Marquesas on his second voyage in 1774. Santa Christina is also known as Tahuata.
