Captain Cook's Encampment in Australia where The Endeavour was Beached, 1803
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print Australia titled 'Gezigt van de Rivier Endeavour op de Kust van Nieuw-Holland'.
View of an encampent on the shore of the Endeavour river on the coast of Australia where the Endeavour boat was beached. Originates from 'Reizen Rondom de Waereld door James Cook (..)'.
HMS Endeavour was a British Royal Navy research vessel that Lieutenant James Cook commanded to Australia and New Zealand on his first voyage of discovery from 1768 to 1771.
She was launched in 1764 as the collier Earl of Pembroke, with the Navy purchasing her in 1768 for a scientific mission to the Pacific Ocean and to explore the seas for the surmised Terra Australis Incognita or "unknown southern land". Commissioned as His Majesty's Bark Endeavour, she departed Plymouth in August 1768, rounded Cape Horn and reached Tahiti in time to observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun. She then set sail into the largely uncharted ocean to the south, stopping at the islands of Huahine, Bora Bora, and Raiatea west of Tahiti to allow Cook to claim them for Great Britain. In September 1769, she anchored off New Zealand, becoming the first European vessel to reach the islands since Abel Tasman's Heemskerck 127 years earlier.
In April 1770, Endeavour became the first European ship to reach the east coast of Australia, with Cook going ashore at what is now known as Botany Bay. Endeavour then sailed north along the Australian coast. She narrowly avoided disaster after running aground on the Great Barrier Reef, and Cook had to throw her guns overboard to lighten her. Endeavour was beached on the Australian mainland for seven weeks to permit rudimentary repairs to her hull. Resuming her voyage, she limped into port in Batavia in October 1770, her crew sworn to secrecy about the lands that they had visited. From Batavia Endeavour continued westward, rounded the Cape of Good Hope on 13 March 1771 and reached the English port of Dover on 12 July, having been at sea for nearly three years.
The ship was largely forgotten after her Pacific voyage, spending the next three years hauling troops and cargo to and from the Falkland Islands. She was renamed in 1775 after being sold into private hands, and used to transport timber from the Baltic. Rehired as a British troop transport during the American War of Independence, she was finally scuttled in a blockade of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island in 1778. Historical evidence indicates the ship was sunk just north of Goat Island in Newport Harbor, along with four other British transports.
Relics from Endeavour are displayed at maritime museums worldwide, including an anchor and six of her cannon. A replica of Endeavour was launched in 1994 and is berthed alongside the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney Harbour. The NASA Space Shuttle...

Engraving of Traditional Chilean Circle Dance: A Festive Gathering in 1827 Chile
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled "Danze de' Chiliesi" (Dance of the Chileans), from the historical work "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" by Giulio Ferrario. The print, created in 1821, showcases a traditional Chilean dance, vividly captured in line and aquatint etching with original hand coloring on wove (vellin) paper.
The scene depicts a group of Chilean dancers in a circular formation, engaging in a traditional dance. The dancers are adorned in colorful attire, featuring breechcloths, leggings, and vibrant headdresses with feathers, which reflect their cultural heritage and the festive nature of the dance. The setting is outdoors, possibly during a community celebration or ritual, indicated by the natural backdrop and the casual yet organized arrangement of the figures.
Cultural and Historical Significance
This print is significant as it provides a visual documentation of Chilean cultural practices from the early 19th century, emphasizing the traditional dances that were an integral part of community gatherings and celebrations. The artwork, by C. Bramati and Paolo Fumagalli after designs by Giulio Ferrario, is part of a larger series that aimed to capture the costumes and customs of people around the world, offering insights into the diversity of cultural expressions during a time of burgeoning global awareness.
The detailed depiction not only highlights the dance but also serves as an ethnographic record, preserving aspects of Chilean culture that might have evolved or faded over time. This work, along with others in the series, was widely distributed and appreciated for its educational and artistic value, making significant contributions to the understanding of global cultural heritage in the 19th century.
