EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph depicts the breathtaking view of Manila, the capital city of Luzon Island in the Philippine Islands, during the 19th century. The image is one of 65 lithographs that were included in the comprehensive 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, this expedition began in Kronstadt, Russia, and traveled around Cape Horn to the Pacific Ocean. The voyage was part of a series of Russian scientific naval surveys in the first part of the 19th century. The lithograph, created by the collaborative efforts of Friedrich Heinrich Kittlitz and Godefroy Engelmann, showcases the bustling city of Manila with its vibrant daily life. The image captures the meeting of frontiers, as indigenous people and European influences intermingle. The geographical feature in the foreground highlights the natural beauty of the location, with its lush greenery and serene waters. The local people, both male and female, are shown engaged in various activities, adding a sense of authenticity to the scene. The lithograph, produced by the renowned French publishing house Frères Thierry, was created using the lithotint technique. The intricate details and shading techniques used in the image are a testament to the skill and artistry of the creators, Godefroy Engelmann and Friedrich Heinrich Kittlitz. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of the Philippine Islands during the 19th century, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical art or Asian studies.
