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.

The drawing of the pa is by Herman Diedrich Sporing, Sir Joseph Banks' clerk; the canoe is copied from a drawing by Sydney Parkinson, the official artist aboard the Endeavour. The scene shows a boat from the Endeavour being rowed in the left foreground; a small canoe with five Maori engaged in fishing in the right foreground; an arched rock in the water behind the boats with a pa on top of it; two canoes pulled up on the bank to the right behind the arched rock and dense bush in the background.

Reference: B-085-013

Description: Shows ornately carved canoe with high stern on the right, eight occupants standing and about 28 seated. All figures wear feathers in their hair and six are cloaked. Gable End Foreland is in the left distance; however it is inaccurately depicted, since the whole image is a reversal of an earlier engraving.. The Library has five black and white copies of this engraving at A-111-004/004-d. A reversed version of 'A war canoe of New Zealand, with a view of Gable End Foreland' engraved by J. J. Barralet', published 1772 and 1773 in Hawkesworth's account of Cook's voyage to New Zealand. Both the Barralet and Prattent engravings are partially derived from an ink and wash drawing in the British Museum, 'A New Zealand War Canoe' by Sydney Parkinson, although the canoe shown is much shorter and the number of rowers much fewer in the Parkinson drawing. The exact original for the engraved versions has never been found. The reversal of the Prattent engraving means that the background landscape is inaccurately depicted and the canoe is facing in the wrong direction. Parkinson's original observation of the scene with the canoe was in 1769. Inscriptions: Recto - above image - London. Published by Alexr. Hogg at the Kings Arms No 16 Paternoster Row.; Recto - beneath image - [Title] Quantity: 1 colour art print(s). Physical Description: Engraving, hand-coloured, 225 x 365 mm (sight).

Description: Drawn by the New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs Centennial Publications Branch from one published in Collins. 'History of New South Wales' in 1798 by Cadell & Davies, this is a copy of the oldest known map manuscript map made by Maori, and the only example that covers all of both the North and South Islands. Does not cover Stewart Island (Rakiura). Includes social, mythical and political information especially about the upper North Island (where Tuki was from), with some brief comments on the South Island. Tells of the number of inhabitants in some of the iwi. The double dotted line across the North Island ends at Cape Reinga and represents the path the wairua follows on its way to the Underworld. Drawn by Tuki after he and Huku were kidnapped from near the Bay of Islands and taken to Norfolk Island in order to teach convicts how to dress flax. The lieutenant govenor of Norfolk Island, Philip Gidley King's interest in their language and culture caused Tuki to draw a map of New Zealand. Tuki's home area was the far north of the North Auckland Peninsula, and this occupies a disproportionately large part of his delineation of the North Island. Tuki had only heard of the South Island from others, and it was drawn very small. See the accompanying article and Fig. 14.8 Modern map showing locations from Tuki's Map for more detail.

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.
