EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled 'View taken in the Russian colony of Novo-Arkhangelsk (Sitkha island) (northwest coast of America)', is an intriguing glimpse into the past. The image, created by the skilled hands of German naturalists Friedrich Heinrich Kittlitz and Godefroy Engelmann, is one of 65 lithographs that were included in the comprehensive volume of maps published after the historic round-the-world voyage of the corvette Seniavin. Commissioned by Tsar Nicholas I and led by Captain Fedor Litke, this expedition began in Kronstadt, Russia, and traveled around Cape Horn to the Pacific Ocean. The scene depicted in this lithograph showcases the Russian colony of Novo-Arkhangelsk, located on Sitkha island. The image reveals a bustling settlement nestled amidst a hilly landscape, with log cabins scattered across the hillside. People of all ages, including children, are shown engaging in daily life activities. A group of dogs playfully interact with each other and with their human companions. In the foreground, a woman is seen meeting with a man, perhaps conducting business or exchanging news. This image offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of the Russian frontier, providing a valuable record of the meeting of cultures and the exploration of new territories. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the individual cabins to the expressions on the faces of the people, offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. This historic artwork, a testament to the spirit of discovery and the importance of scientific exploration, continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
