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: Reconstruction of the death of Marion Du Fresne in the Bay of Islands in 1772. Shows part of a pa, with a store-house (pataka) and fence. A group of implements and European objects is in the foreground, including a three-cornered hat and a sword. A cabbage tree and flax plants can be seen in the foreground. Marion du Fresne is surrounded by a number of Maori, with others looking on from the pataka. He is distracted by one of the Maori men offering him what looks like a bird, while another Maori stands behind him, about to strike him with a club. A Maori woman is walking off to the left with another French sailor, and a Pakeha youth, probably one of the ship's crew, looks on in horror.
