Beschreibung

Engraving, large print, depicting three Aleuts kayaks. Very good condition. According to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, "The people encountered were ready to trade and invited the English into their houses. The countryside provided many herbs such as wild peas or celery and plenty of fowl. Most of Webber's field drawings of Alaskan subject matter can be dated to Cook's first stay at Samgoonoodha harbour. " Captain James Cook made three voyages throughout the Pacific. He made first contact between European & Pacific cultures. Somewhat infamously, Cook was killed in Hawaii in 1779.; 22" x 16.5". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 024838
