Artwork by Louis Choris: "Voyage pittoresque autour du monde, avec des portraits de sauvages d'Amerique, d'Asie, d'Afrique, et des iles du Grand ocean; des paysages, des vues maritimes, et plusieurs objets d'histoire naturelle; accompagne de descriptions par M. le Baron Cuvier, et M.A. de Chamisso, et d'observations sur les cranes humains par M. le Docteur Gall, Par M. Louis Choris, peintre." [Bancroft Library] 1822 Lithographs from 1816 ink and paint drawing, Louis (Ludovik) Choris (Russian, b. Germany, 1795-1828). Images come from a book published after the Russian exploring ship Rurik had made its 1816-1817 voyage. Its mission was to explore the islands of the South Pacific and find a navigable passage to the Atlantic around the northern tip of Alaska. Led by Otto von Kotzbue, the ship's German captain, the Rurik carried four men as scientific observers, one being the young Russian-born artist Ludovik Choris. The ship spent the month of October 1816 in the bay of San Francisco, allowing Choris to record in ink and paint the people and land. The lithographs in this 1822 volume, made after Choris' works, give one of the earliest glimpses of life around San Francisco Bay.
