London : Published for the benefit of the Missionary Society by W. Jeffryes, [179-?], 1 print : aquatint, hand col. ; plate mark 60 x 78 cm. The original painting by Robert Smirk was commissioned by the Directors of the London Missionary Society in 1798 to commemorate the grant of land to build a mission in Tahiti which occurred in March 16, 1797. In the background is Mt. Aora'i. The dwelling immediately behind the group is Bligh's 'British house'. The end section of the first missionary house is on the right.
