French Editon CAPTAIN COOKS 3rd Voyage

Jump to images.

A monumental voyage by this famous English explorer. He had already been to the Pacific twice before and had mapped the Great Barrier Reef coast of Australia and completed the charts of New Zealand. On this last voyage from 1776-1779 he set out in command of the Resolution and Discovery to search for the Northwest Passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Sailed to Tasmania (Van Diemen), New Zealand, Friendly (Tonga) and Society Isles (Tahiti). Discovered several islands in the Cook Group and re-visited Tahiti. Discovered Sandwich islands (HAWAII). Continued north to survey the Pacific Northwest Coast areas of Alaska, Bering Straits, Nootka (Vancouver) then returned to Big Island of Hawaii where he was killed on 14 February 1779.
Clerke now took command and returned to survey the Northwest Coast again but died at sea, Gore and King brought the two ships back to England.

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 (Official artist of the voyage) 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. Many of the views are the first ever seen in Europe of the Pacific Islands, average size: 15"x10" (some a bit larger/smaller, please ask for details), good condition.
