EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the mesmerizing beauty of Matavia Bay in Tahiti. The illustration, originally published in John Hawkesworth's "An account of the voyages undertaken by the order of His present Majesty" in 1773, showcases a panoramic view across the bay as seen from One Tree Hill. In this detailed depiction, we are drawn to a majestic tree standing proudly at the forefront - an Erythrina tahitensis specimen. Its branches reach towards the sky, providing shade and shelter for those fortunate enough to witness this breathtaking landscape. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable scene with delicate engravings. As our eyes wander beyond the iconic tree, we are greeted by Matavia Bay's serene waters gently lapping against its shores. The bay stretches out before us like a tranquil oasis amidst lush greenery and rolling hills. It is easy to imagine oneself transported back in time, standing on that very hillside and marveling at nature's grandeur. This engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical record of exploration during Captain Cook's voyage to Otaheite (Tahiti). Todd-White Art Photography has expertly preserved this piece of history for all to admire and appreciate today.
