Per Wikipedia, In 1785 Richard Cadman Etches And Partners, Including Nathaniel Portlock And George Dixon, Formed A Partnership, Commonly Called The King George's Sound Company, To Develop The Fur Trade. Dixon Had Also Served On Resolution In The Pacific Ocean Under Cook. In September 1785 Portlock And Dixon Sailed From England. Portlock Was In Command Of The Larger Vessel, The 320-Ton (Bm) King George, With A Crew Of 59. Dixon's Was In Command Of The 200-Ton (Bm) Queen Charlotte, With A Crew Of 33. Dixon And Portlock Sailed Together For Most Of Their Three-Year Voyage. They Crossed The Atlantic Ocean, Reaching The Falkland Islands In January 1786, And Transited Cape Horn To Enter The Pacific Ocean. They Reached The Hawaiian Islands On 24 May And Anchored In Kealakekua Bay (Where Cook Had Been Killed In 1779), But Did Not Go Ashore. They Took On Fresh Food At Other Hawaiian Islands And Proceeded On To What Is Now Alaska. After Two Years Of Plying The Waters, Portlock And Dixon Departed North America, Reaching Macao In November 1788. On Their Return Portlock And Dixon Published An Account Of The Voyage, Based In Part On Letters Written By William Beresford, The Trader On The Expedition. Portlock Harbor, A Bay On The West Coast Of Alaska's Chichagof Island, Was Named By Portlock In 1789, Following A Visit There In August 1787. Portlock, A Cannery Settlement Active In The Early And Middle 20Th Century, And Portlock Glacier, Both On Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Were Named In His Honor.

(ads) The voyage was important for the supplementary detail added to Cook's geographical explorations. (Lande). There were two printed accounts of the voyage, the other being Dixon's. Portlock's account is particularly important for its vivid descriptions of encounters with the American Indians and the Russians on which the Dixon-Beresford narrative only touches; Portlock also gives several Indian vocabularies.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. THE FIRST COMMERCIAL VOYAGE TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. First edition. London: John Stockdale and George Goulding, 1789. Quarto (11 13/16" x 9 1/4", 301mm x 236mm). [Full collation available.] With 20 engravings: 14 plates and 6 folding charts. Bound in contemporary calf (re-backed, with the original back-strip laid down) with a gilt fillet border. On the spine, 5 raised bands. Author and title gilt to black sheep in the second panel. Gilt fillet to the edges of the boards and to the turn-ins. Marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block sprinkled blue. Green silk marking-ribbon.

The King George's Sound Company (a k a Richard Cadman Etches and Co.) was established in 1785 to oversee British commercial activity (particularly fur trading) with the Pacific Northwest, which was mapped and described by Captain Cook. Nathaniel Portlock (1748-1817) was on Cook's third and final voyage, and so before commanding his own ship had practical experience of the Pacific and of the American Northwest. Portlock commanded the King George and George Dixon (1748-1795) the Queen Charlotte, setting out in early 1785 across the Atlantic, round Cape Horn (the southern tip of South America) and then up to the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) and finally up toward Alaska, before finally sailing back to England via Macao and the Cape of Good Hope in 1787, arriving in early 1788. Portlock's Voyage is therefore the first account of the Pacific Northwest through a practical commercial lens, refining and fleshing out the account of Cook -- including, interestingly, a new account of the death of Cook as told by a Hawaiian -- for curious speculators back in Britain. In addition to maps and views, there are several natural history plates (particularly of birds), indicating a growing English fascination with illustrated ornithological books.

Shardeloes is a country house (with Robert Adam interiors) near Amersham in Buckinghamshire, built in the 1760's for William Drake (1723-1796), who served in the House of Commons for fifty years. Given the placement of the house's name, it seems likely that Drake bought the book directly from Thomas Hookham, whose shop at Bruton Street and New Bond St. (the intersection currently hosts Hermès, Burberry, Miu Miu and Balenciaga; his number at the time was 147, now Richard Green Gallery) was and is an eight-minute walk from Stockdale's premises at 181 Piccadilly (now Fortnum & Mason). The library of Shardeloes was sold in two tranches, in the 1920's and in the 1950's. Kenneth Nebenzahl (1927-2020) was a dealer of the highest order, specializing in maps. His 2012 Christie's New York sale fetched some $11.6M (the present item was lot 105). Indeed, the Nebenzahl Lectures in the History of Cartography at the Newberry Library in Chicago (the first speaker was the great authority R.A. Skelton) are among the most important landmarks in the field. Hill 1376; Howes P 497; Sabin 64389; Wagner, Northwest Coast 738.
