About the Item
This antique print depicts traditional summer and winter dwellings of the indigenous peoples of Kamchatka, Russia. The engraving shows a group of thatched structures set against a mountainous forested backdrop. In the foreground are semi-subterranean winter houses, built low to the ground with earth mounds covering their roofs for insulation against severe Siberian winters. Elevated wooden summer houses with steep thatched roofs stand on posts to the left, providing ventilation and protection from rain while keeping the living space above damp ground. People and dogs can be seen near the houses, while smoke rises from one of the winter dwellings, suggesting daily activities such as cooking or heating.
This engraving originates from ‘Reizen Rondom de Waereld door James Cook,’ the Dutch translation of James Cook’s voyages published circa 1795 by Honkoop, Allart en Van Cleef and translated by J.D. Pasteur. Cook’s third voyage took him to Kamchatka in 1779, where he and his crew recorded details of local architecture, customs, and daily life, bringing back valuable ethnographic knowledge for European audiences eager to learn about remote northern regions.
The technique used is engraving, involving careful incising of images onto metal plates to produce prints with fine linear precision and tonal depth. These engravings remain prized for their historical accuracy and their ability to convey architectural and cultural details before photography existed.
Condition summary: good condition with strong impressions and clean paper. Minor age-toning and light foxing mainly in the margins, few tears on top but no repairs. Paper remains firm and well-preserved.
Framing tips: A warm cream or light stone mount will enhance the engraving’s muted tones. For framing, choose dark oak, walnut, or black with a slim silver or gold inner edge for a refined, museum-quality presentation. UV-protective glass is recommended to maintain the engraving’s clarity and prevent fading over time.
Condition: Good, please study image carefully.

Coupang : Ile Timor. Vue d'un chantier de construction. Early C19th engraving
Located in Melbourne, Victoria
'Coupang : Ile Timor. Vue d'un chantier de construction'
Depicts Timorese people and Europeans building a rowboat under a tree, with other boats in the distance. The work is being overseen by a senior naval man, possibly intended to be Captain Freycinet.
Steel-engraving by Friedrich Schroeder (1768-1839) after F Garnier after Alphonse Pellion. Alphonse Pellion, artist and naval draughtsman, was a midshipman aboard l'Uranie on Louis de Freycinet's three-year scientific and ethnographic expedition around the world in 1817-1820.
From Louis Freycinet's 'Voyage Autour du Monde, Entrepris par Ordre du Roi ... Execue sur les Corvettes de S. M. l'Uranie et la Physicienne Pendant les Annees 1817, 1818, 1819 et 1820', published in Paris in 1825.
Louis Claude de Saulces de Freycinet (1779-1842) joined the French Navy in 1793 and was a veteran of the Baudin's voyage of discovery (1801-1803). He also completed the narrative of the expedition which appeared under the title of 'Voyage de Decouvertes aux Terres Australes'. In 1817 de Freycinet successfully lobbied the Government and King Louis XVIII agreed to support a new global campaign. Its mission was to finally determine the shape of the earth and return with detailed reports on geography, people, government, commerce and art of this new world. The 350-ton corvette Uranie had a complement of 120 men and 23 officers including the artist Jacques Arago and a priest. Over the next three years Uranie visited Australia, East Timor...
