A Man From Nukagiva Island
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print from an atlas published by the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1813. This historic work, titled "Atlas of the Great Voyage Around the World by I.F. Kruzenshtern," includes 109 plates based on the drawings of V.G. Tilesius, a doctor, naturalist, and the official artist of the Kruzenshtern expedition. The atlas documents the first Russian circumnavigation of the globe, led by Captain I.F. Kruzenshtern between 1803-06. The image showcases a man from Nukagiva Island, located in the Marquesas group of French Polynesia. His intricately tattooed body, adorned with geometric patterns and symbolic motifs, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific. The man's confident gaze and strong posture convey a sense of pride and resilience, as he represents the meeting of the Russian explorers' frontier with the diverse cultures they encountered during their voyage. This print, created by Jegor Skotnikoff, is a testament to the historic significance of the Kruzenshtern expedition and the ethnographic exploration of the 19th century. The atlas, which includes maps of Sakhalin, Kamchatka, and the Kurile Islands, as well as representations of Siberian natives and other peoples, is considered one of the largest publications of engravings from tsarist Russia. Today, this important piece of heritage art can be found in various libraries, including the National Library of Russia and the Library of Congress. As a visual representation of the diverse peoples and cultures encountered during the Kruzenshtern expedition, "A Man From Nukagiva Island" continues to fascinate and inspire scholars, artists, and history enthusiasts alike.
