Description: Head and shoulders portrait of a Maori woman with short hair and a red cloak wrapped around her shoulders. She also wears a red-coloured drop earing, probably meant to be greenstone 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 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."

Description: Head and shoulders portrait of Tuanui, (also known as Rangituanui), principal chief of Ngati Hikatoa.

Tuanui was the recipient of two sows and two boars, from which the wild pigs known as 'Captain Cookers' are descended. The engraved image is a reversal of the original red chalk drawing Extended Title - From: Cook, J. A voyage towards the South Pole.

Description: The open marae area of a pa, with low houses around the edge of the area, a brushwood palisade and the sea and hills beyond. In the foreground are two groups of Maori, one including a man leaning on a spear with others seated at his feet, the other with two men or women seated. The foreground area with the pa is thought to be Cook's 'Hippah Island', a now unnamed islet just south of Motuara Island in Queen Charlotte Sound, looking north, with the steep sides of Motuara Island rising beyond the pa.

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.
