John Webber, R.A. (1751-1793) Boats of the Friendly Islands; original hand colored soft-ground etching; observed, drawn, etched and published by Webber. Published in London in August 1791, as one of a series of etchings from the voyage. To be sold in our November 15 auction; catalog in production, coming October 25.

Webber served as the official artist aboard the HMS Resolution on James Cook’s third voyage of discovery around the Pacific in 1776-1780, where he became the first European artist to contact a number of Pacific Islands, including Hawaii and Tonga, depicted here and referred to as “The Friendly Islands”. Webber, Cook and his crew spent eleven weeks there in the spring and summer of 1777 before setting off for Tahiti and beyond. Webber famously witnessed and sketched Cook’s demise on the shores of Kealakekua Bay in February 1779, and upon return to London, his sketches were engraved and published in the Admiralty’s official account of the expedition. Webber hand-colored and published a set of his own views of the South Seas between 1787 and 1792, with the view above published on August 1, 1791.
