About the Item

Title: Scenes from King George's Harbour, New Holland Description: This lithograph, circa 1836, offers a fascinating double depiction of life at King George's Harbour (modern-day Albany, Western Australia) during Dumont d'Urville's voyage aboard the Astrolabe. The top panel provides a panoramic view of the harbor, featuring the calm waters and anchored ships in the distance. European explorers are seen interacting with the land, Indigenous people, and each other, while tents and smoke from a fire suggest an encampment, blending maritime exploration with settlement activities. The bottom panel zooms in on a more intimate scene, illustrating a group of Indigenous people gathered around a fire. The group, dressed in traditional garments, engages in conversation and daily activities, with one figure gesturing towards the center. The natural setting, with hills rolling into the horizon and the ships faintly visible in the background, evokes a sense of cultural connection to the land and sea. Created by Louis Auguste de Sainson and later reproduced in Brodtmann's *Entdeckungs, Reise der Franzosischen Corvette Astrolabe*, this artwork captures the rich narrative of exploration and early encounters between Europeans and Indigenous Australians during the 19th century. Condition Report: Marginal toning and light foxing, with minimal handling wear. Both images remain clear and sharp, retaining excellent detail and contrast. Overall in very good condition.

Four Koa Wood Framed 18th C. Engravings from Captain Cook's 3rd Voyage Journal
By John Webber
Located in Alamo, CA
A grouping of four framed engravings of Hawaii, Tahiti, Tonga and Vancouver Island from the atlas of the official British Admiralty sanctioned journal of Captain Cook's 3rd Voyage entitled "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean Undertaken by the Command of His Majesty, for Making Discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere", published upon completion of the voyage in London in 1784 by Strahan & Cadell. These engravings were made from drawings by John Webber (1752-1793), who was the artist on Captain James Cook's 3rd and final voyage of discovery. The set of engravings includes: "A Canoe of the Sandwich Islands, the Rowers Masked", Plate 65 in the atlas; "A Dance in Otaheite" (Tahiti), Plate 28; "King of the Friendly Islands" (Tonga), plate 20; "Inside of a House in Nootka Sound" (Canada), plate 42. These engravings are professionally framed in Koa wood, the same wood as was used to make the canoes of the ancient Hawaiians. Koa wood is legendary in Hawaii. Not only is this amazing wood native to Hawaii, but it is known for the deep rich colors and varied grain pattern. Koa has an honored heritage in Hawaii and is highly revered and sacred. The word “koa” means “warrior” in Hawaiian. The warriors of King Kamehameha the Great, created canoes and weapons from a wood plentiful on the Big Island of Hawaii. This wood became synonymous with the warriors themselves, and it became known as koa. These four engravings would make a wonderful grouping for a display of 2, 3 or 4 prints. They may be purchased separately or in groups on 1stDibs. Their listing Reference #'s are: LU117324682432, LU117324682022, LU117324684052 and LU117324684062. A discount is available for a grouping depending on the number of items included. Hawaii was discovered by Captain Cook (1728-1779) during this voyage. Hawaii was originally called The Sandwich Islands in honor of The Earl of Sandwich...
