EDITORS COMMENTS
is an engraving from an atlas published by the Russian Academy of Sciences, created by Russian artist Ivan Ivanovich Kolpakov. This atlas, which includes 109 plates based on the drawings of V.G. Tilesius, a doctor and naturalist who accompanied the Russian expedition led by Captain I.F. Kruzenshtern during his circumnavigation of the globe between 1803 and 1806, is one of the largest publications of engravings from tsarist Russia. This particular plate depicts a view of Sao Miguel Settlement in Brazil. The image shows a hillside settlement with various buildings, including a prominent church with a cross atop its steeple. The meeting of European and indigenous cultures is evident in the scene, with figures dressed in both Western and traditional attire mingling in the streets. The natural beauty of the landscape is also on display, with lush greenery and rolling hills providing a picturesque backdrop to the human activity. The atlas was an important document of the expedition, which aimed to expand Russian knowledge of the world and its peoples. The engraving is a testament to the rich cultural and geographical heritage of the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the history of exploration and the encounter between different civilizations. The image is a valuable historical record, providing insight into the architecture, daily life, and cultural exchange that took place during this period of global exploration.
