EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite engraving by Russian artist Koz'ma Vasil'evich Chesky, is a captivating glimpse into the past. This image is taken from an atlas published by the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1813, documenting the historic 1803-06 circumnavigation voyage led by Captain Ivan Fyodorovich Kruzenshtern. Chesky, a doctor, naturalist, and the official artist of the expedition, meticulously captured this scene of the "Mouth of Tigers" near Macao. The atlas includes 109 plates based on his drawings, making it one of the most extensive publications of engravings from tsarist Russia. The atlas showcases various subjects, including views of Sakhalin, Kamchatka, and the Kurile Islands; representations of Siberian natives and other peoples encountered during the voyage; and local fish and birds from throughout the South and North Pacific. This image, a testament to the meeting of frontiers, depicts a serene scene of boats in the harbor at Macao. The intricate details of the boats, the water, and the surrounding landscape are beautifully rendered, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the time. The atlas, now held in various libraries such as the Library of Congress and the National Library of Russia, is an essential historical document, offering valuable insights into the exploration and navigation of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This stunning engraving by Chesky is a reminder of the incredible journey undertaken by Kruzenshtern and his crew, opening up new horizons and expanding the knowledge of the world.
