| Shortly after the return of the Cook expedition to England, copies
of the engravings were smuggled out to Paris and a French issue of the
third voyage was published in Paris, 1785. The engravings by WEBBER were
used by the French engraver BENARD, with French titles substituted. These
were of equal quality to the English edition, on good strong hand-made
paper. |

| The engravings by JOHN WEBBER were copied by artists throughout
Europe, these were of such importance as they were the first and only
available pictures of the Hawaiian Islands. The REV.THOMAS BANKES, Vicar
of Dixton in Monmouthshire, published a large folio book in 1790, on various
voyages, including the latest by COOK, using the Webber plates as illustrations.
These are the same views as those listed above, except slightly reduced
in size, some having two plates to a page. Two new views have also been
added. These items are scarce, good quality copper engravings, all uncoloured,
page size 10"xl5 1/2", excellent condition. |

| As soon as news of the British discovery of Hawaii reached
Paris, Louis XIV immediately despatched a French expedition under the
command of JEAN-FRANCOIS GALLUP DE LA- PEROUSE to ascertain the importance
of these islands. Nothing of note came from this voyage in terms of Hawaii,
La-Perouse in fact only spent 24 hours at Maui! However, an excellent
chart was produced, see map section, and an interesting view of MOWEE
was published in the journals on return. 67. VUE DU MOUILLAGE DES FREGATES FRANCAISES A L'ILE DE MOWEE. Excellent copper engraving showing the two frigates of the expedition, anchored off coast of Maui, surrounded by many native canoes. Published in Paris, 1797. |
