EDITORS COMMENTS
Design No 2 for Captain Cook in the Tropics (w/c) captures the essence of exploration and discovery in the 18th century. This print by John Wilson Carmichael showcases a vibrant scene filled with an array of people, both native and foreign, as they embark on a journey through the tropical wonders. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the majestic ship sailing through the Pacific Ocean, symbolizing Captain James Cook's iconic voyages. The intricate details of the vessel highlight its significance as a mode of transport that opened up new horizons for scientific research and cultural exchange. Surrounding the ship are lush mountains and coastal landscapes, showcasing nature's beauty in all its glory. The inclusion of various botanical elements emphasizes Cook's interest in botany and natural history during his expeditions. Intriguingly, amidst this picturesque setting, we see a canoe alongside a tugboat representing encounters between different civilizations. These interactions fostered cultural understanding between explorers like Cook and indigenous communities such as Maori cultures. Carmichael skillfully employs watercolors to bring out vivid colors that enhance our visual experience. Through his artistry, he invites us to join these early adventurers on their exciting excursion into uncharted territories. This timeless piece serves not only as an artistic representation but also as a historical documentation of one man's quest for knowledge and understanding across vast oceans.
