EDITORS COMMENTS
Dwelling at Guam, Mariana Islands, 19th Century: A Glimpse into the Past This black and white lithograph, titled "Dwelling at Guam, Mariana Islands, 19th Century," is an intriguing window into the past, showcasing the indigenous architecture of the Mariana Islands during a time of exploration and discovery. The image is one of 65 lithographs that were included in the volume of maps published after the historic round-the-world voyage of the Russian corvette Seniavin, commissioned by Tsar Nicholas I and led by Captain Fedor Litke between 1826 and 1829. The expedition, which began in Kronstadt, Russia, and traveled around Cape Horn to the Pacific Ocean, was one of many Russian scientific naval surveys in the first part of the 19th century. This particular lithograph was created by a team of skilled artists and cartographers, including Friedrich Heinrich Kittlitz, Victor Adam, Louis-Pierre-Alphonse Bichebois, and Godefroy Engelmann. The lithograph depicts a group of buildings on stilts, with children playing outside and women tending to household chores. The dwellings, which are typical of the region, are raised above the ground to protect against the frequent flooding and storms. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the local people and their unique adaptation to their environment. The lithograph, which is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of art and history that continues to inspire and inform us about the world and its diverse cultures. This intriguing image invites us to explore the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of human settlements in far-off lands.
