An account of the Pelew Islands, situated in the western part of the Pacific Ocean : composed from the journals and communications of Capitain Henry Wilson, and some of his officers, who, in August 1783, were there shipwrecked, in the antelope, a packet belonging to the honourable East India Company
An account of the Pelew Islands, compiled by George Keate from the journals and communications of Captain Henry Wilson and his officers after the East India Company packet Antelope was wrecked there in 1783, published in London in 1789. The plates show Palauan material culture: a carved tree-and-village landscape with a sailing scene, a patterned woven container, a plaited basket or bag, and a carved club-like weapon with a curved blade, drawn in engraved line and shading that a designer could borrow for hatched pattern, woven texture, and ethnographic object studies.
