John Hamilton Mortimer and the discovery of Captain Cook
John Hamilton Mortimer (1740-1779),

The National Library of Australia holds within its large collection of artworks a most intriguing eighteenth century painting, the bequest of Dame Merlyn Myer. A beautiful work in good condition, the painting is unsigned and lacks its original title. Early research into the painting revealed that it had hung unremarked in private collections for 150 years and then suffered a misattribution to Johann Zoffany which, while initially inflating its value in the art market, had obscured the painting’s true identity and significance. Rejection of the Zoffany attribution also cast doubt on the subjects Joseph Banks and Captain Cook and the date 1771

In its nomination judges said about the league: “More than just a “Fine City”, our most easterly MAN v FAT Football league in Norwich is setting a fine example of showing that, when a community comes together, everybody sees results. Community is a huge part of the Norwich league and as well as delivering personal results on the scales (just shy of 1500kg), the guys also love to give back to their community, in the form of supporting charitable causes such as donations to the homeless every Christmas as well as helping their local foodbanks.”
