One of 65 lithographs that were included in the volume of maps published after the round-the-world voyage of the corvette Seniavin commissioned by Tsar Nicholas I and carried out in 1826-29 under the command of Captain Fedor Litke (the Russian version of the name of Count Friedrich Lu¨tke, a Baltic German).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled 'Road in Manila, Capital of Luzon Island, Philippine Islands,' is an exquisite piece of 19th-century cartographic and ethnographic art. Created by the collaborative efforts of three skilled artists - Alexander Postels, Adolphe Jean-Baptiste Bayot, and Louis Julien Jacottet - 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 Seniavin expedition began in Kronstadt, Russia, and traveled around Cape Horn to the Pacific Ocean. This voyage was part of a series of Russian scientific naval surveys in the first part of the 19th century. The lithograph showcases a bustling street scene in Manila, the capital city of Luzon Island in the Philippine Islands. The intricate details of the architectural features, such as balconies and balconies, provide a glimpse into the daily life of the city's residents. Children dressed in traditional clothing are seen playing and working alongside adults, offering a glimpse into the diverse and vibrant culture of the region. The lithograph's rich heritage is further emphasized by the use of the lithotint technique, which allowed for a wide range of tonal values and subtle shading. This artistic masterpiece not only serves as a valuable historical document but also as a stunning work of art that transports us back in time to a fascinating era in world history.
