Sydney Parkinson (1745–1771) was the botanical artist employed by Joseph Banks on board Endeavour. He died at sea before the ship returned to Britain. He was not an engraver, and Banks did not allow him to use coloured paint for other than botanical works. The image shown above is an engraving after Parkinson's original pen & wash image 'Portrait of a New Zeland [sic] Man' which is now held in the British Library (Add. MS 23920, f.55). It was made by Thomas Chambers (1724?-1789) in England after Cook's voyage returned. Chambers was engaged to produce illustrations for publication, and sometimes made changes which are evident when his work is compared to the originals.
