WEBBER, JOHN. 1751-1793. The Death of Captain Cook. London: J. Webber & W. Byrne, January 1784. Engraving on paper, 475 x 585 mm, by Bartolozzi and Byrne after a drawing by Webber, matted and framed in what appears to be a koa frame, toned, light stains, but a strong impression. John Webber's depiction of Captain Cook's death at the hands of the Hawaiians was finished too late to appear in the Third Voyage atlas and was later issued separately although occasionally appears in bound copies of the atlas. Forbes 108; Kroepelien 1083; O'Reilly & Reitman 417.
