First Russian circumnavigation. A book in a collector"s handmade leather binding made of two types of leather with

Notes of the outstanding Russian navigator Ivan Fedorovich Kruzenshtern is a fascinating and detailed story about the first Russian round -the -world expedition (1803-1806), about how Russia established connections with then Russian Alaska and California. During the navigation of "Hope" and "Neva", such a huge astronomical, geographical and ethnographic material was collected that it has not been fully studied today. The descriptions of life and morals" savages and stories about Kamchatka and Japan are especially curious. A curious fact: Kruzenshtern and Lisyansky made the residents of the Land of the Rising Sun such an impression that they became characters of Japanese engravings.
