150 character caption: Exploring the far east in the early 19th century, Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius (not the company) made significant contributions to the ethnographic record through his patronage of Russian artists. Chesky and Klauber's depictions of Nukagiva tattooing, Japanese greetings, and daily life bring Tilesius' observations to life. Meanwhile, views of Petropavlovsk Harbour, Rumiantsev Bay, and other landscapes showcase the beauty and diversity of the region. Skotnikoff's portraits of Ainu and Japanese women add depth to our understanding of these cultures, thanks to Tilesius' vision and the artists' skill.
