EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from the account of an expedition to the northern parts of Russia by explorers Joseph Billings and Martin Sauers, showcases the breathtaking view of the peak and the expansive Shilka River in Siberia. The explorers are depicted riding reindeer through the landscape, surrounded by the tents of the indigenous Tungusic people. The peak, likely part of the Sikhote-Alin mountain range, dominates the scene with its snow-capped summit, while the Shilka River winds through the valley below. The Tungusic people, also known as the Tungus or Tunguse, were a nomadic people who traditionally lived in the region, relying on hunting, fishing, and herding reindeer for sustenance. The explorers' journey through this rugged and remote terrain would have presented many challenges, but the beauty of the landscape is captured in this stunning copperplate engraving by Dell Acqua, hand-coloured by Lazaretti for Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages. This image offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the explorers and the indigenous people they encountered on their journey through Siberia in the early 19th century.
