Antique engraving 1803 | Original engraving: The landing of captain Cook at Erramanga, one of the new Hebrides: Landing op het eiland Erramanga een van de nieuwe hebriden, published 1803, 1 p. With damages

Original engraving on laid paper, 235 x 410 mm. With tears in the plate and narrow margins left and right.Captain James Cook (1728-1779) made three separate voyages to the Pacific (with the ships Endeavour, Resolution, Adventure, and Discovery) and did more than any other voyager to explore the Pacific and Southern Ocean. Cook not only encountered Pacific cultures for the first time, but also assembled the first large-scale collections of Pacific objects to be brought back to Europe. He was killed in Hawaii in 1779.William Hodges (1744 - 1797) joined Cook's second expedition to the South Pacific as a draughtsman 1772-75 and was employed by the Admiralty in finishing his drawings.Cook reached Eromanga on August 4, 1774. As recorded in Hawkesworth's account: Here Cook met the most unpleasant encounter he had experienced with islanders on the voyage. Hodges made no known portraits of the people of the island, and conditions were such that none were possible; but later, with Cipriani's assistance, he prepared a painting of the encounter for the engraver. The actual arrangement entered into between the two artists is not known, but it was very much in the order of things. Both Hodges and Cipriani are known to have worked in this way with other artists. Cipriani's drawing predictably presents the Melanesians in classical poses but also depicts the tight girdle that the men wore, reported by Cook and others. But it is an ill-coordinated drawing and depicts only a part of the action. Hodges, presumably, was responsible for the figure of Cook (in the action of firing at the 'treacherous' chieftain) and of Cook's companion.This engraving was severly criticized by Georges Forster. Hodges had invented it and it was, he inferred, misleading. William Wales leapt to the artist's defence. He had discussed the criticism with him, and his defence throws an interesting light on Hodges's practice. The artist had copied the account of the affray at Eromanga from Cook's own journal a few days after Cook had written it in order to compose an illustration of the affair. This indicates that both Cook and Hodges had the illustration of significant events of the voyage for the official published account well in mind long before the Resolution returned to England. Since it was not possible at Eromanga to make drawings of the inhabitants, 'the manners and person of the natives were copied chiefly from those at Tanna, as they were exactly alike'. The engraving was not intended, Wales added, ' to identify particular persons, or to give the exact positions of employment of everyone who were present; but it appears very possible, that he might draw a general representation of the action from a description given to him by any person of veracity, equally as well as if he had been on the spot and seen it with his own eyes.' (From: www.rmg.co.uk)[NL] Originele gravure van de landing op eiland Erramanga door Kapitein Cook (Afgebeeld met geweer in de aanslag). Naar de tekening door Hodges. Erramanga, ook wel Erromange is een eiland in Vanuatu, vallend onder provincie Tafea, Grote Oceaan. James Cook was de eerste Europeaan die op 4 augustus 1774 op Erromango landde. Het eerste contact leidde tot een schermutseling waarbij bemanningsleden van Cook gewond raakten en een paar bewoners het leven kostte.
