Oswald W.B. Brierly : pictorial and manuscript collection, ca. 1816-1883

The primary sketch shows a boat [the Pinnace] with a cannon and several men on board. To the left of this vessel is another boat with a man firing at the native canoes. In the top left-hand corner are two studies of figures that appear on the main boat.
The sketch on the reverse depicts four natives, possibly from New Guinean or the Louisiade Archipelago, and a canoe.
