EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "F. 30 Canoes of Oonalashka, Prince Williams Sound, c. 1773-84" by John Webber takes us back in time to the rugged beauty of Alaska during Captain Cook's last voyage. The image showcases a scene from Prince William Sound, located on the Gulf of Alaska. In this artwork, we see several canoes gracefully gliding through the pristine waters. These dugout boats are skillfully crafted by indigenous people and serve as their primary mode of transportation. The oarsmen, both one-man and two-man crews, row with precision and strength, propelling their canoes forward. The figures depicted in this painting represent native Americans who have inhabited these lands for generations. Their connection to nature is evident as they navigate these waters effortlessly. This image provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted traditions that have shaped the history of North America. John Webber's watercolor technique beautifully captures the essence of this Alaskan landscape while paying homage to its native inhabitants. Preserved within the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, this artwork serves as a testament to exploration and discovery. As we admire this historical piece, let it transport us back in time to an era when humans harmoniously coexisted with nature in one of Earth's most breathtaking regions - Prince William Sound.
