Created in 1886 by artist W Macleod, this wood engraving from the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia beautifully captures the grandeur of this historical landmark. The monument pays tribute to Captain James Cook, a renowned British naval officer and explorer who claimed Australia for Britain in 1770 after landing at Botany Bay near Sydney. Standing tall and proud, the statue symbolizes Cook's significant role in Australian history as a navigator and his contributions to exploration. With its intricate architecture and attention to detail, this memorial stands as a testament to Cook's legacy.
