Original drawings from the voyage around the world undertaken in 1803-1807 by Captain Ivan Fedorovich Kruzenshtern and Ambassador Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov, High Chamberlain to the Emporer Alexander. Georg Heinrich von Langsdorff, physician and naturalist, was a member of the expedition and these drawings were used to illustrate the two volumes of his book: "Voyages and travels in various parts of the world during the years 1803, 1804, 1805, 1806, and 1807" (German edition: Frankfurt am Main, 1812; English edition: London 1813-1814) The drawings illustrate two phases of the voyage: the first (1803-1805) led by Kruzenshtern and Rezanov to open trade between Japan and Russia, and the second (1805-1806) led by Rezanov and Langsdorff (without Kruzenshtern) to the North Coast of North America and the Aleutians.

38 drawings : ink and wash ; 28 x 42 cm. or smaller.
