There are ten views of the Northwest Coast of America, including Nootka Sound and Queen Charlotte's Island, and Native American villages at Norfolk Sound and Fitzhugh Sound. There are two maps of Queen Charlotte's Island, six watercolors of canoes from the Northwest Coast and the Pacific Islands, and four drawings of Native American and Pacific island ethnographic objects and There are eighteen watercolor sketches and drawings of the coast of South America and the islands in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Staaten Island near Cape Horn. Other drawings include ten watercolors of Chinese men and women, a pencil drawing of a Chinese junk, and a watercolor of an American tea plant.
