The Cook Voyages Encounters. NEW.

Janet Davidson.

This book describes artifacts collected by James Cook, Joseph Banks and other crew members on the three Pacific voyages, and also how and why some of them are now in the National Museum Te Papa collection. It includes taonga Maori as well as items from elsewhere in the Pacific, the North West Coast of America, and Tierra del Fuego. There is an illustration of a herbarium specimen of Tupeia antarctica, collected by Banks and Solander at Totaranui Queen Charlotte Sound. In addition the book highlights related art, books and maps also in the national collection. Superb photographs throughout.
