EDITORS COMMENTS
View of Lukunor Island, Lower Caroline Islands, 19th century: A Captivating Glimpse into the Past This evocative black and white lithograph, titled "View of Lukunor Island, Lower Caroline Islands," is an enchanting window into the past, transporting us to a distant time and place. Created by the skilled hands of Alexander Postels, Godefroy Engelmann, and Emile-Charles Wattier in the 1820s, this image is one of 65 lithographs that were included in the volume of maps published after the historic round-the-world voyage of the corvette Seniavin. Commissioned by Tsar Nicholas I, the expedition, led by Captain Fedor Litke, began in Kronstadt, Russia, and traveled around Cape Horn to the Pacific Ocean. The image depicts Lukunor Island, located in the Caroline Islands of Micronesia, Oceania. The island is shown in its natural splendor, with lush vegetation, branching trees, and a meeting of land and sea. The local people, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen in the foreground, engaging in daily activities, adding a sense of authenticity and life to the scene. The trio of artists, Postels, Engelmann, and Wattier, expertly captured the essence of this exotic locale, providing a valuable record of the region for future generations. Their work is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the past and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of our world. This lithograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a treasure trove of history, art, and natural wonder.
