View Taken in the Woods, Guam Island, Mariana Islands, 19th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph depicting a lush forest scene from the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean. This stunning artwork is one of 65 lithographs that were included in the volume of 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 began in Kronstadt, Russia, and traveled around Cape Horn to the Pacific Ocean. The creators of this masterpiece were Alexander Postels, Godefroy Engelmann, and Alexis Victor Joly. Postels, a Russian artist, collaborated with Engelmann, a German botanist, and Joly, a French artist, to produce this exquisite botanical representation of the Mariana Islands. The trio's work was a significant contribution to the scientific exploration of the Pacific during the 19th century. The image showcases a forested landscape teeming with life. Towering palm trees with intricately detailed roots dominate the scene, their fronds reaching towards the sky. The forest floor is covered in lush vegetation, with various plants and roots visible. The meeting of the forest and the clear blue waters of the Pacific Ocean creates a breathtaking contrast. This artwork is a testament to the rich natural beauty of the Pacific Islands and the scientific curiosity that drove expeditions like the Seniavin voyage. The lithograph is now part of the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, a reminder of the important role that such explorations played in expanding our knowledge of the world.
