James Webber, R.A. (1750-1793) accompanied Cook on his third and last voyage to New Zealand. He made a drawing of the death of Cook, which he witnessed, and his sketch was later engraved by Byrne and Bartolozzi. He illustrated Cook's Voyage to the Pacific Ocean and after his death a book of Webber's entitled Views in the South Seas was published.
