Synopsis
Sydney Parkinson was one of the two artists on board the Endeavour on Cook's first voyage to the Pacific, and his journal - which was first published in 1784 - has long since been unavailable. The book includes reproductions of the twenty-seven engravings which appeared in the original edition, based on drawings made by Parkinson at different times of the voyage. The journal gives a detailed account of the main events and incidents of the voyage from the viewpoint of an artist with wide scientific interests, and includes Parkinson's first-hand observations on the customs and manners of the people encountered.
