Table of Contents

Reviews

While exploring the South Seas and the Americas between 1768 and 1789, James Cook acquired numerous ethnic objects including cloth, ornaments, weapons and musical instruments. This large, impressive volume tells the story of how this unique collection arose, and offers an insight into 18th-century non-European culture. Several full-page colour plates are among the many fine illustrations and a catalogue gives details of the artefacts, which are now in Gottingen, Germany. (Kirkus UK)
