A view of Owhyhee, one of the Sandwich Islands, John Cleveley Junior, artist, 1787-88, aquatint, John Cleveley Junior bore the same name as his father, who also had artistic skills. John received lessons from Paul Sandby, Chief Drawing Master at Woolwich, and came to specialise in shipping and riverside scenes. He was chosen to join the Resolution as Joseph Banks' natural history draughtsman on Captain Cook's second voyage to the Pacific (1772-75). However, when Banks' plans fell through, John instead accompanied him on his journey to the Orkneys, Hebrides and Iceland in 1772
