- J.
WEBBER “Un Opposum De La Terre Van
Diemen.” Paris. 1784. B/W. 6½X9. This
engraving of a Tasmanian Opossum was etched by Robert Benard from a
drawing by John Webber who accompanied Capt.
James Cook on his third voyage to the Pacific in 1776-1780. John Webber
was a 24 year old artist, the son of a Swiss sculptor living in London,
who joined Cook's expedition as official artist, drawing many of the
animals and natives encountered on the voyage. Although the Opossum in
the drawing is anatomically incorrect, he had to draw animals, often
on-the-run, so that a complete profile was not always available. From
the French edition of Cook's Voyages. |

BURNEY “Plan De la Baye De L'Aventure
sur la Terre Van-Diemen.” Paris. 1784. B/W.
10X8. Chart of Adventure Bay on Bruny Island off the south coast of
Tasmania, is located some distance below present day Hobart, Tasmania's
capital city. On Capt. James Cook's third voyage to the Pacific
(1775-1780) his ships the Resolution and Discovery heading eastward came
upon what they called Van Diemen's land (Tasmania) which Cook still
thought was joined to mainland Australia. While anchoring in the Bay to
restock supplies of food, water & wood, James Burney, the 1st Lieutenant
on the Discovery sketched the Bay noting depth soundings, a lake, &
elevations plus the contours of the beach as seen from the ship.
Engraved by Robert Benard for the French edition of Cook's Voyages, this
depiction was taken from a MSS in the Public Records Office. The ships
stayed only 4 days in the Bay in January 1777 before continuing onward
towards New Zealand. |

- J. COOK/J.
WEBBER “Une Femme De la Terre De Van-Diemen”.
Paris. 1785. B/W. 9X6½. This is one of the first portraits of a native
woman from Tasmania (Van-Diemen's Land), carrying a baby and wearing
only a Kangaroo skin. It was drawn by John Webber, a young artist from
London, who accompanied Capt. James Cook on his 3rd voyage to the
Pacific in 1776-1780, as official artist and draughtsman. When John
Webber returned to London in 1780 he was asked by the British Admiralty
to compile the official account of the voyage and his portraits & views
of the natives he encountered whenever Cook's
ships the “Resolution”
and the “Discovery”
made landfall during the voyage, form the core of the collection of
accounts & memorabilia that are now housed in Admiralty House in London
and at the National Maritime Museum in
Greenwich. Finely engraved by Robert Benard, this portrait was included
in the French edition of Cook's Voyages published in Paris in 1785. |

- “Un Homme De
la Terre Van-Diemen”. Paris. 1785. B/W. 9½X6¾.
This fine portrait of a native man from Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land) was
drawn by John Webber, a young artist from London who accompanied Capt.
James Cook on his 3rd voyage to the Pacific in 1776-1780, as official
artist and draughtsman. Webber took particular delight in sketching the
natives whenever Cook's ships the “Resolution”
and the “Discovery”
made landfall during the course of the 3 year voyage.
Cook found the Tasmanian natives to be primitive. The men were
naked and smeared with red paint and their only method of ornamentation
was to raise welts on their bodies as shown in
this portrait, which was engraved by Robert Benard for inclusion in the
French edition of Cook's Voyages published in Paris in 1785.

Diemen's Island. Published under the Superintendence of the Society for
the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge from the mss. map in the Colonial

fine maps on one sheet, show harbors around all coastlines &
topographical details in inland regions for both Western Australia and

This finely engraved two part map was published by the S.D.U.K
(Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.) in the early 19th
century. The Society was founded in London in 1826 to provide education
for those who could not readily afford it. In its early days the Society
was extremely successful in publishing maps to accompany texts, as many
writers and scholars were prepared to work for little remuneration, and
the maps they provided were of very high quality. Although the S.D.U.K
suspended operations in 1846, their maps continued to be issued by
different publishers until the 1850's and were much in demand, as they
are today. |

- J. COOK, R. BENARD “Carte De La Nle
Galles Meridle au de la Cote Orientale de la Nle Hollande Decouverte et
Visitee par le Lieutenant J. Cook. Commandant De L'Endeavour, Vaisseau
de sa Majeste en 1770.” Paris. 1784. B/W. 14X30½. In April 1770
Lieutenant James Cook (afterwards Capt.) reached the east coast of
Australia after sailing around New Zealand on his round the world voyage
to the Pacific of 1768-1771. This fine chart drawn by Cook and engraved
by Robert Benard for the French edition of Cook's Voyages, shows
Australia's eastern coast surveyed by Cook, from Cape Howe on the
southeastern shore to Botany Bay and Port Jackson (Sydney) and
continuing up the coast to Point Danger which now marks the border
between present day New South Wales and Queensland and was sighted on
16th May. Following that, Cook's ship the Endeavour sailed into a Bay
which he called Morton Bay after Lord Morton, President of the Royal
Society, and into which flowed a large river where Queensland's capital
of Brisbane now stands. Sailing on northward the Endeavour reached the
southern end of the Great Barrier Reef and a region of coral reefs
called the Labryinth. Here the ship ran aground and only by ‘fothering’
the ship which meant sewing a quantity of oakum and wool into a sail,
which they hauled under the ship so that the suction drew it into the
hole were the crew able to save the ship and continue up the coast till
they sighted the mouth of a river, where they were able to careen the
ship on its banks and do the necessary repairs. They named the river,
Endeavour, and the place where the ship was beached is present day
Cooktown. From this point on Cook's chart shows Cape Weymouth and Cape
York at the northernmost tip of the Australian continent where Cook went
ashore, hoisted the English colors and took possession of Australia's
eastern coast for King George III. This handsome chart provides a
wonderful view of the course of Cook's ship the Endeavour up the coast
of eastern Australia. |
