Homme
Du Kamtchatka. Paris. 1785. B/W. 9½X7. This
fine portrait of a man from Kamtchatka was drawn by John Webber, who
accompanied Capt. James Cook on his third voyage to the Pacific in
1776-1780. After Cook's death in Hawaii in February 1779, Cook's
lieutenants Clerke and Gore took his ships the Resolution and Discovery
to Kamtchatka, a peninsula off Russia's eastern Siberian coast and
moored off Petropavlovsk, a sheltered harbor they called St.
Peter and St. Paul, now the capital of Kamtchatka. During the six
weeks the ships lay there, Webber did many drawings of the natives and
their habitats. The drawing was engraved by Robert Benard and was
included in the French edition of Cook's Voyages. |
