EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the Outskirts of Valparaiso, Chile: A 19th Century Lithograph by Alexander Postels and Leon Jean-Baptiste Sabatier This black and white lithograph, titled "View of the Outskirts of Valparaiso, Chile," is an exquisite piece of 19th century art that transports us back in time. Created by the collaborative efforts of Russian artist Alexander Postels and French lithographer Leon Jean-Baptiste Sabatier, this lithograph is one of 65 maps published after the historic round-the-world voyage of the Russian corvette Seniavin. Commissioned by Tsar Nicholas I and led by Captain Fedor Litke, the expedition set sail from Kronstadt, Russia, in 1826 and circumnavigated the globe via Cape Horn, reaching the Pacific Ocean. The image showcases the outskirts of Valparaiso, a bustling Chilean port city nestled along the Pacific coast. The scene is dominated by the rugged, undulating hills that characterize the area, with a few men resting among the greenery at the foot of a hill. The meeting of the land and sea creates a breathtaking contrast, with the clear blue waters of the bay gently lapping against the rocky shoreline. The intricate details of the landscape, from the individual plants and trees to the winding paths and buildings, are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. This lithograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of both Russia and France, as well as the spirit of exploration and scientific discovery that defined the 19th century. The image invites us to imagine the lives of the people who once inhabited this landscape, and the incredible journeys that brought Postels and Sabatier to document it. This work of art continues to inspire and captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring beauty of the natural world.
