250 years ago Captain James Cook and his crew – among them the Lincolnshire botanist Joseph Banks – became the first Europeans to set foot on the eastern coast of Australia. Joseph Banks’ botanical discoveries – some 1,300 previously unknown botanical species – revolutionised European understanding of natural history.
The ten prints presented in this catalogue show the rich foliage, colourful flowers, and diverse species that Banks discovered as the Endeavour traversed the globe.
