A Boxing Match, in Hapaee, One of the Hawaii Islands, circa 1780
About the Item
John Webber created the engraving titled "A Boxing Match, in Hapaee, one of the Friendly Islands." Webber was indeed an artist who accompanied Captain James Cook on his third voyage to the Pacific Ocean and was responsible for many of the images that depicted the cultures and landscapes encountered during those explorations.
John Webber's role as the official artist on Cook's voyage was significant as his works provided one of the earliest and most detailed visual records of the Pacific and its inhabitants at that time. After returning to London, his drawings and paintings were used to produce engravings for the official account of Cook's voyages, giving the European public a visual understanding of the distant lands Cook had visited.
The print is one of the many that were created from Webber's original drawings. It was published in London by Webber himself. His works are considered important historical records and are often highly valued for their contribution to the visual documentation of the 18th-century Pacific. The print is an original from that period,and is a significant historical and possibly monetary value, especially if it is in good condition.
