Description: | Portrait of the explorer Sir Joseph Banks, stood in an heroic pose wearing a Maori flax cloak. He is surrounded by objects from New Zealand and Polynesia, and at his feet lies a copy of a drawing of flax. Banks played a notable part in Captain Cook's Endeavour expedition which landed on the east coast of Australia. Banks named Botany Bay for the wealth of new plants he found there. | Subjects: | Art Portraits | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
