Lot Details
Published 1773 in Hawkesworth's Voyages being an account of Cook's Voyages. This image is described by Joseph Banks in Hawkesworth’s journal: “After breakfast we all went ashore to see an Indian Fort or Eppah . . . We went to a bay where there were two, we landed near a small one the most beautifuly romantick thing I ever saw. It was built on a small rock detached from the main and surroundd at high water, the top of this was fencd round with rails after their manner but was not large enough to contain above 5 or 6 houses; the whole appeard totally inaccessible to any animal who was not furnishd with wings, indeed it was only approachable by one very narrow and steep path, but what made it most truly romantick was that much the largest part of it was hollowd out into an arch which penetrated quite through it and was in hight not less than 20 yards perpendicular above the water which ran through it.” November 1769
