No Binding. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Size: Frame 35 x 44 cm, print image 18 x 22.5 cm Condition: Print in very good condition, mount new and good used frame This print is a first edition issue from the account of Captain Cook's Voyage to the Pacific Ocean, published in 1784. This was Cook's third voyage, starting in 1776, and the one in which he met his death in 1779. John Webber was the artist who accompanied Cook and his crew, and his drawings were subsequently engraved for the publication. Webber, only 27 years old at the time, went on to become a well known painter and fellow of the Royal Academy, but today is known mainly for his association with Cook and especially his painting of Cook's death and its many engraved versions. One principal purpose of Cook's voyage was to find the elusive North-West passage, which Cook failed to do, but this is why he found himself in 1778 in Prince William Sound, one of the first explorers to visit it. It fact it was only named Prince William Sound in that year. Webber's drawings were the first to bring to Westerners' eyes the feature of the people of that area. This print was engraved by James Basire, a very famous engraver of the period who had worked for Hogarth among others. The hand colour is later - the print was originally published without colour. The paper is laid paper of the period, and we are happy to guarantee that it is a first edition print. There are other issues of this print which are later and generally inferior.
