"The Landing at Mallicolo, one of the New Hebrides, Plate 60" is a notable artwork by William Hodges, who served as the official artist on Captain James Cook's second voyage to the Pacific (1772-1775). This artwork is part of Hodges' contributions to the voyage's official record, which was later published in Cook's "A Voyage Towards the South Pole and Round the World." The painting depicts the moment of contact between European explorers and the indigenous people of Malakula (Mallicolo), an island in the present-day nation of Vanuatu.

Hodges' work is significant for its role in documenting the early encounters between Europeans and Pacific peoples, offering both a visual and cultural perspective that was rare at the time. His artistic style blends romantic landscape elements with ethnographic detail, aiming to convey the exotic environments and communities encountered during the voyage. "The Landing at Mallicolo" is particularly noted for its dramatic portrayal of the lush, tropical landscape of the island and the tense yet curious interaction between the islanders and Cook's crew.

This piece, like many others by Hodges from the voyage, helped shape European perceptions of the Pacific Islands and their inhabitants. It remains an important work for studies in art history, anthropology, and the history of European exploration.
