Kruzenshtern. The photograph is part of an atlas published by the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1813, which includes maps of Kruzenshtern's route and 109 plates based on the drawings of V.G. Tilesius, the expedition's doctor, naturalist, and official artist. The atlas, one of the largest publications of engravings from tsarist Russia, showcases various views of Sakhalin, Kamchatka, and the Kurile Islands, as well as representations of the native peoples encountered during the voyage. This particular image depicts a group of Japanese interpreters, dressed in traditional clothing, kneeling respectfully in front of their chief.
