"A Folio of 36 Alaskan-Siberian Views (from Cook's Third Voyage 1776-79)" is a collection of illustrations created by John Webber, the official artist aboard Captain James Cook's third and final voyage of exploration. This expedition, which took place from 1776 to 1779, aimed to discover the Northwest Passage and further explore the Pacific Ocean. Webber's role was to document the landscapes, peoples, and natural phenomena encountered during the journey, providing a visual record that complemented the written accounts of the voyage.

John Webber, born in London in 1751 to a Swiss family, was a skilled artist known for his detailed and accurate depictions. His work on Cook's third voyage is particularly significant as it offers some of the earliest visual representations of the Alaskan and Siberian regions. The folio comprises 36 views, each meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the remote and largely uncharted territories visited by Cook and his crew.

The illustrations in the folio include a variety of subjects, from dramatic coastal landscapes and towering ice formations to intimate portraits of indigenous peoples and their daily activities. Webber's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the grandeur and harshness of the natural environment make these works invaluable historical documents. They provide insights into the geography, climate, and cultures of the areas explored, contributing to the broader understanding of the Pacific Northwest during the late 18th century.

Webber's illustrations were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic quality, and they played a crucial role in shaping European perceptions of the Pacific regions. The folio not only serves as a testament to Webber's artistic talent but also as an important artifact of exploration history, reflecting the spirit of discovery that characterized the Age of Enlightenment.
