Captain James Cook


The most famous portrait of probably the greatest navigator of all time. Clearly FP material, but the size is a concern (700 × 883 pixels). Any ideas where we could get a bigger one? Would people support this one anyway? --jjron (talk) 12:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments:
 * Excellent portrait; keep looking for a larger version. Durova Charge! 07:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I looked via Google Images but couldn't find any larger images than this. Two suggestions - since the original is in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, could a request for a photo be made of someone in the Greater London area? Second, the museum's website offers a print of the portrait for sale here (dead link though), presumably one could be purchased and scanned / photographed.
