The color lithographs vividly depict these significant events, commemorating fallen officers and men who bravely fought for their cause.

In remembrance ceremonies, hearts heavy with loss paid tribute to those who sacrificed their lives in service. Yet, beyond its tumultuous past lies a picturesque view captured by talented artists throughout history. Jean-Francois de Galaup's depiction from the 1780s showcases Petropavlovsk Harbor's serene beauty while Stepan Petrovich Krasheninnikov's artwork transports us back to an earlier era in 1755.
