Vue de la Riviere d'Endeavour sur la Côte de la Nouvelle Holland où le Vaisseau fut mis à la Bande.
Duret Sculp.
[Paris: c.1777.]
Fine engraving. 240 x 360mm (9½ x 14¼") Trimmed into plate lower right by binder, folded as issued.
Captain Cook's ship, 'Endeavour', beached on the shore of New South Wales for repairs. The scene was sketched by Sydney Parkinson, who had died before the expedition reached England; however, after a dispute over ownership of his work with Parkinson's brother, Hawkesworth removed every reference to Parkinson from the Official Account of Cook's first voyage. This scene was copied for the first French edition of Hawkesworth, 'Relation des voyages..' published 1774, but this example comes from a volume of Abbé Prevost's 'Histoire des Voyages', c.1777.
