Captain James Cook (1728-1779) Nathaniel Dance A three-quarter-length portrait of Captain Cook, seated to the left, facing the right. He is wearing captain's full-dress uniform, 1774-1787, consisting of a navy blue jacket, white waistcoat with gold braid and gold buttons and white breeches. He wears a grey wig or his own hair powdered. He holds his own chart of the Southern Ocean on the table and his right hand points to the east coast of Australia on it. His left thumb and finger lightly hold the other edge of the chart over his knee. His hat sits on the table behind him to the left on top of a substantial book, perhaps his journal, itself resting on the chart.

returning with a prize, in a topsail breeze, with views over Plymouth Sound. In the foreground is Firestone Bay, with Drake's Island in the left background and Mount Edgcumbe on the right. Through his careful delineation of the ships, which are entering the Cremyll Passage, the artist has fused a landscape painting with one concerned with the sea at a period when he was working in England.

‘The Lad Taiyota, Native of Otaheite, in the Dress of his Country’ Richard Bernard Godfrey after Sydney Parkinson Taiyota (Taiata) was the young servant of Toobaiah (Tupaia), "a sort of high-priest of Otaheite [Tahiti]", and is here seen playing "a musical instrument, somewhat like a flute, which they blow into through their noses". Both Tupaia and Taiata travelled on with Endeavour, James Cook's voyage, but died in Batavia, on the return voyage to Europe. Illustration from A journal of a voyage to the South Seas, in His Majesty's ship, The Endeavour, by Sydney Parkinson (London, 1773), which was published posthumously.
