EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Nukagiva Man Making Tattoos on Another Man's Body," is taken from an atlas published by the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1813. The atlas, which includes 109 plates based on the drawings of V.G. Tilesius, a doctor, naturalist, and official artist of the 1803-06 Russian circumnavigation expedition led by Captain I.F. Kruzenshtern, offers a unique glimpse into the cultures and peoples encountered during the voyage. This particular image showcases the Nukagiva people, who inhabited the Kurile Islands in the North Pacific. The illustration, created by Ivan Vasil'evich Chesky and Ignaz Sebastian Klauber, depicts a Nukagiva man intently focusing on making tattoos on another man's body. The intricate designs and the intense concentration on both men's faces reveal the significance of this body art in their culture. The atlas, one of the largest publications of engravings from tsarist Russia, also includes maps of the expedition's route and representations of various Siberian natives and other peoples. The detailed illustrations serve as valuable historical records, providing insights into the diverse cultures and traditions that existed during the 19th century. This image, with its rich cultural context, offers a unique window into the past and is a testament to the importance of exploration and documentation in understanding the world's diverse heritage.
