EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from an atlas published by the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1813, documenting the voyages of Captain I.F. Kruzenshtern during his circumnavigation of the globe between 1803 and 1806. The atlas includes 109 plates based on the drawings of V.G. Tilesius, an official artist and naturalist of the expedition. The photograph features five intriguing subjects. A, the Brazil Frog, showcases its vibrant, green body and large, expressive eyes. B, the frog's eyes, are magnified to reveal their intricate details, from the iris to the pupil. C, the frog's powerful hind leg, is shown in detail, emphasizing its muscular structure. D, the Makako Lemur, a black and white primate native to Madagascar, is depicted with its curious face and long, bushy tail. E, the Anteater with Motley Tail, is shown with its elongated snout and distinctive, patchwork tail. This image is a testament to the rich natural history and cultural heritage of the 19th century, capturing the essence of the exotic and the unknown, as encountered by Kruzenshtern and Tilesius during their groundbreaking expedition. The intricate engravings in this atlas continue to fascinate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the natural world of the past.
