Page dimensions: 237 x 142mm. Dust-jacket title: "Dusky Bay : In The Steps Of Captain Cook". "A remote fiord on the storm-swept south-west coast of New Zealand's South Island is notable alike for its breathtaking scenery and its place in the country's history. Captain James Cook discovered it in 1770 and named it Dusky Bay. He came again in 1773 after a rigourous voyage in the Antarctic and spent five weeks there while his crew enjoyed fresh food and recreation. Later came sealers, whalers, shipwrecked sailors and prospectors. All left their mark in one way or another on a place which has more or less reverted to its virgin state has time has passed it by. Two Dunedin doctors have now reconstructed a remarkable history of the area, its animal and plant life, and the men who trod its rocky shores. Through patient research and the co-operation of men of learning in many countries, they have assembled an impressive collection of early maps, documents and, most important, examples of the work of the artists and naturalists who first visited what is now known as Dusky Sound. Many of these beautiful paintings and drawings are here reproduced in colour, some of them for the first time. In particular, the book gives overdue recognition to the work of the German naturalist Johann Forster and his brilliant and artistic son George." - from dust-jacket blurb.

Condition: Fine. This fascinating engraving is from Captain James Cook's "A Voyage towards the South Pole, and Round the World, Performed in his Majesty's Ships the Resolution and Adventure, in the Years 1772, 1773, 1774, and 1775". This is from the third edition of the work and was published London by W. Strahan and T. Cadell in 1779. --- "The famous accounts of Captain Cook's three voyages form the basis for any collection of Pacific books. In three great voyages Cook did more to clarify the geographical knowledge of the southern hemisphere than all his predecessors had done together. He was really the first scientific navigator and his voyages made great contributions to many fields of knowledge." (Hill) --- "Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilization and by the foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia, and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent, as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of antarctic land in the southern ice ring, a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century." (Printing and the Mind of Man p.135) --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor marks to be expected with age. Some of the fold out engravings from this work could display some offset or wear to fold.
