The book is devoted to a little-known James Cook’s collection of ethnographic articles and engravings. It tells about the way it appeared in Russia and was kept in St. Petersburg Kunstkammer over 200 years. Each of the articles is treated in the system of sailors’ evidence, scientific classifications and museum documents.
