English: Date: 1790-1799 By: Cleveley, John, 1747-1786; Webber, John, 1751-1793; Turnbull, Alexander Horsburgh, 1868-1918. Ref: G-627. Cook at the water's edge in the left half of the view, surrounded by Hawaiians, his right arm raised to order a sailor not to fire. A large palm tree is on the left and there are hills in the background. Derived chiefly from a detail of Jukes' aquatint after Cleveley of same subject. Formerly attributed by Library staff to Webber or to Cleveley. However these attributions are now considered doubtful. |
