EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Potatow, the Otaheite admiral, drawn by William Hodges during Captain Cook's Second Voyage in 1768-75. The image captures the essence of this indigenous Tahitian leader with his striking bearded face adorned with a headscarf. Potatow's commanding presence is evident as he gazes directly at the viewer, exuding strength and authority. His role as an influential chief and ruler among his people is emphasized through his regal demeanor. The red and white chalk medium used by Hodges adds depth to the drawing, highlighting Potatow's features against a russet background reminiscent of French Polynesia's windward islands. This artistic technique brings out both the intensity of Potatow's expression and the richness of his cultural heritage. Displayed within an album measuring 49 x 70 cm at Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this artwork forms part of Admiral Isaac Smith's collection from Cook's Second Voyage. It serves as a historical testament to early explorations and encounters between European expeditions and indigenous communities. Page 17 Potatow offers viewers a glimpse into Tahitian culture during this significant period in history when exploration was expanding horizons across continents. As we admire this remarkable portrait today, it reminds us to appreciate diverse cultures while honoring their leaders who played vital roles in shaping our world.
