A View of Karakakooa in Owyhee Early surfing in Hawaii

178526771London: Alex. Hogg at the Kings Arms No 16 Paternoster Row 1785. Good. Engraving titled "A View of Karakakooa in Owyhee." Paper size is 27.4 x 38.5 cm. Inside black border dimensions the main image without title are 22 x 33.9 cm. The top edge has been remargined with sympathetic laid paper where the imprint was trimmed away. "Taylor sculp." engraved lower right. Now laid down archivally on a light tissue to preserve it and ensure that previous edge tears and fraying didn't cause further deteriorate. Lightly hand colored. A penciled note on the rear reads "opposite p. 577 Cooks' Voyages 1785 edition" "Drawn by John Webber the artist on Cook's third voyage this view depicts the bay where Cook's expedition spent a total of four weeks in January and February 1779. Published as an illustration in the official narrative of Cook's third voyage this view complements the detailed plan of the bay that appeared as an inset on the published map of the island. The bay gained notoriety as the scene of Cook's death but it remained an important anchorage for European vessels until the 1820s. The village on the right corresponds to 'Kakooa' in the inset on the Roberts chart .It was the scene of many of the transactions between the Hawaiians and Cook's expedition. In the far background near the point of land appearing just aft of the two ships lies the village named 'Kowrowa'' on Roberts' chart where the famous confrontation occurred on February 14 1779 in which Cook was killed." Fitzpatrick "The Early Mapping of HAWAI'I" Honolulu:Editions Limited1986 p. 20 This example lacks the publisher's imprint information just above the top black border. It would have read "London Published by Alex. Hogg at the Kings Arms No 16 Paternoster Row." This example was engraved by Taylor and is of the period. Reviewing a 1784 digitized copy of the Cook narrative titled: "A new authentic and complete collection of voyages round the world undertaken and performed by royal authority. Containing an authentic entertaining full and complete history of Captain Cook's first second third and last voyages undertaken by order of His present Majesty for making discoveries in geography navigation astronomy &c. in the southern and northern hemispheres ." and published by Hogg with the imprint as above confirms the plate was inserted opposite page 577. It was likely the same in the 1785 edition of the following year. The image is often cited as the first example of a surfing image see surfer on board lower left and it is quite notable for that fact. While missing the publisher imprint it is still a fine example for framing and display. [Alex. Hogg at the Kings Arms No 16 Paternoster Row] unknown

[COOK: THIRD VOYAGE] WEBBER, John, after, engraved by BT POUNCY B TBiblio.com

A View of the Town and Harbour of St Peter and St Paul in Kamtschatka

17843611651London 1784. Engraving 253 x 533 mm. to plate mark paper size 290 x 540 mm.; a little light old creasing at right side; in fine condition. Rare proof impression of one of the most atmospheric views made by Webber to illustrate Cook's third voyage: the St Peter and Paul ostrog as seen during the expedition's first visit to Avacha Bay. This wonderful panorama of St Peter and St Paul with Cook's ships at anchor in the bay would later appear as plate 74 in the atlas to the official account of the third voyage. Webber's image depicts the small Kamchatkan settlement with its inhabitants fishing in front of their distinctive dwellings all in an untouched landscape with wooded coastline and distant snow-covered mountains. It offers an arcadian vision of the place wildly at variance with what it would become: modern Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky now a major commercial port and the home of Russia's nuclear submarine fleet. It was at St Peter and St Paul that the battered vessels called in late April 1779 and here that Major Behm agreed to take the news of Cook's death overland to St. Petersburg. This is an early state of the print before letters. The temporary credits here scratched into the plate are differently worded to the final version that would appear in the publication: here there is no caption identifying the view and the image is identified as "Drawn from Nature by J. Webber" and "Engraved by B.T. Pouncy". In the finished version these would be differently expressed as "J. Webber del." and "B.T. Pouncy sc.". The proof engraving is printed on a noticeably different paper and its inking is distinctly finer than the examples of the finished version with which we have compared it. The result is a greater tonal quality. Joppien and Smith discuss the Kamchatkan visit at some length in both text and catalogue volumes of their study of the art of Cook's third voyage. In their description of the related watercolour view now in the Dixson Library in Sydney they note that the original version has probably been lost and that the Dixson watercolour is probably related to the engraving process. This is a desirable and rare version of one of Webber's most successful images from Cook's third voyage. ` . unknown
