Untitled. Bénard. Graveur. [Illustrations de Voyages autour du monde.. .] / Benard, grav. ; Pierre-Marie-François Pagès, aut. du texte. 1782. Cook's Voyages to the South Seas (Natural History Museum, London) ARTstor has collaborated with the Natural History Museum, London to share approximately 1,600 images of botanical and zoological illustrations associated with Captain James Cook's expeditions to the South Pacific from 1768 – 1779.
With support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the museum has digitized watercolors and drawings and made them available for scholarship and education in the Digital Library. James Cook (1728 – 1779) was a captain in the British Royal Navy who commanded three epic voyages of exploration, charting the largely unexplored Pacific Ocean and twice circumnavigating the globe. Cook's expeditions contributed significantly to contemporary geographic, oceanographic, and astronomic knowledge.
