308 pages, 401 b/w and 225 color photographs. In 1978 the Bishop Museum commemorated Captain Cook's discovery of the Hawaiian Islands with "an exposition of native manufactures" collected on Cook's Pacific voyages. This publication presents the objects collected by Cook that were exhibited at the Museum. A truly dazzling catalogue that has scores of photographs of extraordinary, seldom seen objects (from the Bishop Museum's collection and on loan from the most important museum and private collections in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S.), with full data for each object that appears in the photographs. Out of print.
