Sophie Bank's Slippers
This is a watercolour of some eighteenth century slippers, I have called them
Sophie Bank's Slippers. Sophie Banks was Joseph Banks the botanist's sister,
I believe that they were close as siblings go. Joseph Banks travelled with James
Cook on the Endeavour when they came to New Zealand to observe the transit of
Mercury in the North Island in 1769.
Joseph Banks was responsible for the recording of many new animal and
plant species.
