Captain Cook's Voyages 1768-1779 Folio Edition

Folio Society, 1998. Second printing. In excellent condition in slipcase.

The Folio edition is illustrated throughout - in black-and-white and colour - with engravings, paintings and drawings by the official artists of the voyages, William Hodges and John Webber, and by the engravers who interpreted their sketches back in England. (Many of the engravings are those that appeared in the first editions.) This new Folio volume is bound in full blue buckram, with a suitably nautical design by David Eccles blocked in gold and black.

With The Folio Society's usual flair for design, attention to detail and high standards of production, The Voyages of Captain Cook 1768-1779 is easily one of the most attractive and affordable editions of Cook's journals to be found today. Using the earliest available source texts, edited for the general reader, and designed to be gracefully legible, this is the ideal introduction to Captain Cook's voyages of discovery.
