EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures A. Hansen, the first officer on the Knivsberg, in 1898. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this portrait showcases a German crew member deeply engrossed in plotting the course of the SS Knivsberg through the vast South China Sea. Intriguingly, Hansen is depicted using compasses and parallel rulers to meticulously chart their journey while referring to a copy of "The China Sea Directory", volume II, 3rd edition from 1889. This image not only highlights his expertise in navigation but also emphasizes the importance of accurate map reading and geographical knowledge during that era. Dressed in traditional sailor attire with a hat atop his head, Hansen exudes an air of professionalism and dedication to his craft. The lithograph beautifully captures both his concentration and determination as he carefully measures distances on a nautical chart. Allers' attention to detail extends beyond depicting Hansen's actions; it encompasses every element present on the table before him - from navigational instruments like compasses and rulers to literary works essential for maritime exploration. This print serves as a timeless tribute to seafarers like A. Hansen who fearlessly traversed vast oceans, relying on their skills, knowledge, and unwavering commitment to ensure safe passage for their vessels across treacherous waters.
