About the Item
The image depicts a copperplate engraving of a sea otter from Nootka Sound, located in Quadra and Vancouver Island on the North West Coast of America.
This particular engraving was done by W. Grainger and is derived from Cook's third voyage, with the work being published in 1801. The scene shows the sea otter resting on the shore, with a tranquil backdrop of water and the sky, capturing a moment from the late 18th-century explorations of Captain James Cook.
Description: This is a 1801 copperplate engraving from George Alexander Cooke's "Universal Geography" .
More info on its publication: The print is part of George Alexander Cooke's comprehensive work "A Modern and Authentic System of Universal Geography." This book was a significant compilation of geographical knowledge during the late 18th century, offering descriptions and accounts of various parts of the world, influenced by the age of exploration. It includes narratives of famed explorers like Captain James Cook and Ferdinand Magellan, detailing their discoveries and journeys that expanded the European understanding of the globe. Cooke's work served as both a chronicle and reference for the territories and cultures encountered by these voyagers.
