Description: | Print: coloured aquatint of the missionary ship Duff (1794) landing at Otaheite (present day Tahiti). Shown from her starboard side the Duff is shown with lowermost sails loose preparing to anchor. She flies the missionary flag of four doves each carrying an olive branch in their beak against a blue field, a red pennant from the main mast and a red and white flag at the stern. Approaching the Duff from all directions are canoes containing islanders waving exuberently. Many more canoes can be seen in the distance setting out from land. In the background are the high volcanic mountains of Tahiti towering over the densely wooded coastline and palm trees.
