Just finished reading #theweightofthecaptainswrist #history #paintings by #PeterIreland. There is a #terrific #essay by #GeraldBarnett on the #paintings and it’s such an #important release date being the #British #start of #colonisation of #aotearoa #newzealand in #1769. #irelands #art looks at the #stories #between #cultures on #captaincooks #endeavour #journey to #record the #transitofvenus in #Tahiti before #exploring and #searching for the #greatsoutherncontinent and landing in nz and #Australia. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByqfMe8J5rN/?igshid=13qqh5fpq4tqi
