This print showcases Otoo, the esteemed King of O-taheite (now known as Tahiti), as depicted in Captain James Cook's renowned expedition. The illustration, engraved by John Hall in 1777, beautifully captures the regal essence of this Tahitian chief. Otoo's portrait exudes power and authority, with his commanding presence and dignified expression. As a native islander from the Pacific region, he represents the rich cultural heritage and history of these enchanting islands. The image transports us back to Cook's groundbreaking voyage towards the South Pole and around the world. It serves as a visual testament to the extraordinary encounters between European explorers and indigenous peoples during this era of discovery. William Hodges' masterful engraving brings forth intricate details that allow us to appreciate not only Otoo's physical features but also his role as a ruler within his community.
