image

COOK, Capt. James.

Origin: Paris, 1774.

An engraving by William Byrne done after a lost drawing likely by Sydney Parkinson in 1770.

Here it was 'lightened' and 'careened' so that the damage could be repaired. Probably published in a French edition of Hawkesworth's important work "An Account of the Voyages... for making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere".

Condition: Uncoloured; light surface soiling and age-toning to the edges of the paper, signs of vertical folds from book, otherwise a good example.
