About this Item

1818 RUSSIA 1ed Voyages of Ivan Krusenstern Fedorovich Pacific Ocean Science MAP Adam Johann Krusenstern (i.e. Ivan Fedorovich) was a 19th-century Russian explorer best remembered for being the first Russian to voyage around the world. Beginning in 1803, Krusenstern set sail at the command of Tsar Alexander I to voyage around the world with the purpose of gaining geographical and scientific knowledge. While the voyage itself was important, it was the report that followed that was Krusenstern s lasting legacy. It proved to be one of the best descriptions of the Pacific and the tribes of the Pacific Islands. This highly desirable first Italian edition of Kruzenstern s voyage report contains impressive, hand-colored illustrations of Pacific tribal natives as well as a huge folding map of the world!
