Description: Accompanying text from the "Auckland Weekly News", 20/12/1890, p.10: "The incident of the picture represents Captain Cook's landing at a spot in the Bay of Islands ... The Captain is explaining to the Maori chief the different uses of the bullets and small shot he holds in his hand; that the one is intended to kill men, and that the other is for birds &c.; that he need not be afraid about his brother who was only wounded with the latter by shot from a gun that was fired only to intimidate them &c. The authority for Captain Cook's costume is taken from his own portrait in the Library, and of the seaman at his back from authenticated plates of that period. The reason that the Captain is represented as in full-dress is this: that it was his custom to dress on going on shore in order to impress the natives. The picture is painted by Mr L.J.Steel [sic] and Mr K.Watkin [sic]. Mr Steel painted the figures and Mr Watkin the landscape part." A group of Maori, including a seated woman are to the left of the view, their weapons beside them. Cook and a sailor are standing to the centre and right, with a rowboat with further sailors behind them and the Endeavour moored beyond them.

Description: Shows a group of four Maori in the centre foreground outside a pa. Two other figures talk together on the ground to the left. Some whare constructed of reeds are seen behind them, on ground that slopes away to the lake or inlet in the background. There is a hill in the centre distance. See Joppien and Smith, volume 3, page 18, which suggests that the pa shown is probably the fortified village on the island of Motuara, visited by Cook on 15 February and by Anderson on 20 February. It was visited by Cook on his first voyage, and Furneaus had established his winter quarters there on the second voyage when it was also used as William Bayly's observatory. Between the second and third voyage, the pa had been rebuilt but was again deserted. This gave Webber an opportunity to sketch it from the inside. Derived from an engraving by B T Pouncy.

Endorsed in Sporing's hand, `Sporing's Grotto. Opuragi-bay. New Zealand) The view is actually of Te Puta o Paretauhinu at Mercury Bay not Tolaga Bay. `Opoorage' was Cook's rendering of Purangi ie Mercury Bay.

Description: Head and shoulders portrait of a Maori woman with short straggly hair and a cloak wrapped around her shoulders. After a red chalk drawing on Cook's 2nd voyage, now in National Library of Australia, reference number R-740. The original drawing was exhibited in 'Encounter with Eden, New Zealand, 1770-1870' a touring exhibition in New Zealand, 1990 - 1992. Item 2 in the catalogue.. Edges trimmed within plate marks. This likeness was taken some time between 18 May and 7 June 1773 while the Resolution was at Ship Cove. Anders Sparrman recorded: "It was in such a buggi-buggi [paki-paki or cloak?] that the New Zealand woman was portrayed by the masterly hand of Mr Hodges, our painter. I must confess, however, that he did not choose the most beautiful model as an example of this country's female physiognomy, for the likeness of younger and fairer women is not so easy to depict, yet neither was this one of the ugliest. Language difficulties at first gave rise to a misunderstanding between the girl and the painter, for she, having been paid well to go down into the saloon, imagined that she ought to give satisfaction in the way she understood it, as soon as possible in return for our gift; perhaps she had had previous experience with our sailors? She was astonished when signs were made for her to sit on a chair; such a novel way of doing things struck her as absurd, but she promptly volunteered a prone position on the chair for the painter and his companion. To her further surprise she was eventually put in a correct position, just sitting on the chair with nothing to do; whereupon, to the wonderment and entertainment of herself and the two savages with her, she quickly saw her likeness, appearing in a red crayon drawing."
