A full-length portrait of murderer James Cook (1811-32), standing looking down with a horrified expression, holding a hat with both hands, wearing short open double-breasted jacket, waistcoat and neckerchief tied in a bow. Cook, a 21-year old bookbinder, owed John Pass (originally Paas), an engraver and bookbinders' toolmaker, money. When Pass called to collect, Cook killed him and attempted to hide the crime by dismembering Pass and trying to burn the limbs. Cook was hung and gibbetted in Leicester: so many visitors came to view the body that the Home Office intervened, ordering it removed. This was the last recorded gibbeting in England.

Stipple engraving on steel. 130 x 95mm (5 x 3¾"), with very wide margins.
The coat of arms presented to the Cook family in 1785, six years after James Cook's death on Hawaii. Beaglehole writes: ''The shield azure bears between its two golden 'polar stars' no heraldic symbol but a map of the Pacific hemisphere, with every tenth degree of latitude marked and every fifteenth of longitude; superimposed are Cook's tracks in red, ending precisely at Hawaii. 'And for a crest, on a wreath of the colours, is an arm imbowed, vested in the uniform of a captain of the Royal Navy. In the hand is the Union Jack on a staff proper. The arm is encircled by a wreath of palm and laurel.' Two mottos, an unusual distinction, accompany these bearings: above the crest the words Circa orbem, below the shield another adaptation from the Royal Society, the biographical statement Nil intentatum reliquit.''. Cook's widow never seems to have used it, nor was it added to any of Cook's memorials. Beaglehole: 'Life of Captain James Cook', p. 692.

Sir Daniel Cooper (1821 - 1902), merchant and philanthropist who went to Sydney, Australia in 1843. Though he left for England in 1861 and never again resided permanently in New South Wales, he continued to serve the colony. He acted frequently as agent-general for New South Wales, attending to such matters as the negotiation and supervision of mail contracts, and occasionally rendering special services such as the inquiries which culminated in the selection in 1888 of Edward Eddy as chief commissioner for railways in New South Wales. In 1881 he was chairman of the London Committee of the Sydney International Exhibition and in 1886 sat on the royal commission for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London. He was associated with the Royal Colonial Institute, warmly advocated imperial federation and in 1880 published A Federal British Empire the Best Defence of the Mother Country and her Colonies. In 1857 Cooper was elected to the Senate of the University of Sydney and became a generous benefactor.
