Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. xv 300 pages, bibliography, list of plates, index.Published in association with the British Museum (Natural History). The book came from Betty Conabere's library, herself a well regarded Australian botanical artist. Her signature, written in pencil, is on the front end paper. The book is in excellent condition, clean, unmarked and solid. Overseas customers please note the book is heavy and will attract additional postage. "Despite the wealth of publications which have resulted, particularly this century, from Cook?s Endeavour voyage - perhaps still the most scientifically rewarding voyage of all time - the career and work of the chief artist on the voyage, the young, untravelled Sydney Parkinson, have not so far received the attention they deserve. During a period of two years and four months from the beginning of the voyage until his untimely death at the age of 26 in Javanese waters, Parkinson made some 276 finished and 676 unfinished drawings of plants, 83 finished and 212 unfinished drawings of animals and perhaps 100 or so other drawings of people, scenery and boats - a staggering output not only considering the short period of time but also the conditions of working. Much of his output - especially the drawings of animals - remains the subject of further research, some fruits of which are displayed in this book. His early death and the pressures which deterred his employer, Sir Joseph Banks, from his purpose in publishing the results of the voyage, led to a neglect of Parkinson's contribution to art and science which this book will do much to remedy. The book will unlock for the specialist and for the general public the treasures which have been held for a century in the library of the British Museum (Natural History) and in the British Library in London. Following a biographical sketch Wilfred Blunt evaluates Sydney Parkinson?s work as a scientific artist; regional experts on the flora of each o fthe countries on the route of the voyage explain and comment upon their selections of the botanical drawings; Alwynne Wheeler of the British Museum (Natural History) presents and comments upon his selection of the animal drawings; Adrian Horridge, well-known for his studies on the evolution of boat building in the Indonesian Islands, comments on Parkinson?s drawings of boats, especially the ?flying proa? of the Marianas. Jeremy Spencer deals with the landscape sketches. The book will appeal to the general public for its wealth of unusual, beautiful and historic illustrations; to those interested in the literature and results of voyages of exploration; to botanists and zoologists interested in the plants and animals of the Southern Hemisphere. The research worker will find meticulous reference to the relevant literature and to the location of originals of the illustrations. An index gives ready access to the immense amount of detailed information contained in the text." (front flap).

The scarce and beautifully hand-coloured issue of the expanded second edition, Du Rietz noting that it was "apparently issued in less than 400 copies". The first of 1773 was not issued in a coloured version, nor did it include the double-hemisphere map showing the routes of Cook's three voyages. We have traced only seven copies of this coloured issue in commerce in the last 40 years. Sydney Parkinson (d.1771) was "the first European artist to set foot on Australian soil, to draw an authentic Australian landscape, and to portray Aboriginals from direct observation" (ADB). He joined Cook's expedition as a natural history draughtsman at the behest of Sir Joseph Banks, and "with great diligence and flair made at least 1,300 drawings, many more than Banks had expected" which also included some of the earliest European views of the South Pacific. His valuable observations include the first published use of the word "kangaroo" (as "kangooroo", p. 149), and his extensive vocabularies of South Sea tongues. After exploring Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and the Great Barrier Reef, the expedition reached Batavia, where Parkinson contracted malaria and dysentery, dying shortly after the departure for the Cape of Good Hope. The hand-colouring in this copy is particularly vivid, superbly complementing Parkinson's exquisite craftsmanship. The gouache-like quality of the paint emphasizes the striking scenery and delicate portraits of indigenous peoples. Parkinson's book caused some controversy and its publication was not without difficulty. After the expedition, Parkinson's effects including his journal were put in Banks's charge. Notably, "they included a journal in which publishers were likely to be interested, for it contained much colourful detail not in those kept by Banks and Cook" (ODNB). Banks consented to lend it to the Parkinson family after Sydney's brother, Stanfield promised not to publish or copy the papers. "Convinced the family had the better claim, Stanfield defiantly arranged for its publication, forcing John Hawkesworth, entrusted with editing the official narrative of the voyage, to take out a forestalling injunction" (ibid.). John Fothergill (1712-1780) a physician and patron of Parkinson, was brought in to mediate. Once Hawkesworth had published his account in 1773, the injunction was lifted and Stanfield brought out his own edition of the journal. Its preface, ghost-written by a Dr. Kenrick, was considered by Fothergill to be so misrepresentative of Banks's actions that he bought up all remaining copies of the first edition shortly after. The unsold sheets from the first edition were republished as the second by John Coakley Lettsom (1744-1815), complete with a measured riposte to the earlier preface. This second edition has additional material in the form of a prefatory "Advertisement" by the editor, Lettsom; 18 pages of "explanatory remarks" by Fothergill, commenting on Stanfield's original preface; and a four-page postscript to the preceding. There is also a 214-page appendix summarizing the voyages of Byron, Wallis, Carteret, and Bougainville, as well as an epitome of Cook's second and third voyages. The double-hemisphere map traces the entirety of Cook's voyages, making the second edition one of the earliest published works to gather information on all three voyages. Provenance: from the celebrated colour plate library of Norman Bobins. Beddie 714; Bobins 1459 (this copy); Du Rietz 945; Forbes 82; Hill 1309; Howgego I C173; Parks (Cook) 9; Parsons Collection 96; Sabin 58789; Troelstra, p. 332. A four-page "Gomeldon" section is found in some copies, though not present here. It constitutes a letter from Parkinson written in Batavia to his cousin Jane Gomeldon, her reply, and a poem addressed by her to Parkinson. Quarto (342 x 262 mm). Contemporary tree calf, professionally rebacked to style, flat spine, red morocco label, richly gilt in compartments, covers with gilt roll border, red speckled edges, Turkish pattern marbled endpapers.
