Comments:John Webber was the official artist on Cook’s final voyage through the Pacific; his drawings formed the basis for printed illustrations to the account of the voyage ‘A Voyage to the Pacific’, published in 1784, engraved by various artists. He also published his own prints of drawings he made on the voyages privately, in 1788. Several of the plates were re-published by J Boydell in 1808. For more information, including details on the publication of Cook’s Voyages, see: Joppien, Rüdiger and Smith, Bernard ‘The Art of Captain Cook’s Voyages’, 3 Vols. (Yale UP 1988). For information on the set republished by Boydell, see also Abbey 595.
