- Description
Shows two Marquesan men with elaborate head-dresses in a canoe in the foreground, another manned canoe with sail to the right, two further canoes in the background and Cook's ship the Resolution in a sheltered cove in the rocky headland in the background.
The attribution to Klauber as the engraver is based on the fact that he has signed the majority of the engravings in the Dutch volume.
Based on a drawing by William Hodges, artist on Cook's second voyage. The Resolution visited this area in April 1774. Cook lost contact with the Adventure in October 1773 and continued this voyage alone with his crew on the Resolution. The main original drawing on which this engraving is based is in the Mitchell Library and a related drawing is in the British Library. This version is a Dutch re-working of the engraving in Cook's A voyage towards the South Pole. London, 1777, engraved by B.T.Pouncy, Plate 32.
