Additional Note

Sketchbook containing forty-seven drawings and watercolors of various subjects and locations in France, the Mediterreanean, Barbadoes, New York, New Orleans, Cuba, Mexico, and California. Starting from Rein Lenweier, Alsace on board the "Victor" (ship) in January 1847, and continuing later aboard the frigate "Thetis" and the "Henry Shelton", until at least 1851, the sketches were possibly done during a voyage around the world. Included are cariacatures and portraits of local people, city views; animal, plant, and fish studies; still lifes, vessels, lighthouses, towers, churches, and other subjects. The dates are based on dated images in the sketchbook.

Jules Rupalley album ca 1850-1857 BANC PIC 1963.002:1305:001-105, 1305:A-G, 1963.002.142, 186, 413-415--ALB

Additional Note

Album containing over one hundred watercolor drawings primarily of plants and insects from Northern California. The views were executed during Rupalley's travels across California southern mines, the area south of Stockton and around the Stanislaus and Tuolumne Rivers, and Sierra Nevada foothills (Rupalley calls this area "Californie du Sud"). Some of the drawings have annotations in French and include transliterations of Indian plant names. The album also contains several views executed during Rupalley's travels aboard the ships "Louis" and "Surprise", and a number of published prints (not by Rupalley) related to mining and California life. The album was probably assembled at a later date, as most of the drawings and sheets were cut out and pasted into the present album, perhaps from a number of other sketchbooks. The name "Georges Rupalley, Caen" is handwritten on album's inside front cover and may indicate the compiler of the present album.

Kruzenshtern/Rezanov/Langsdorff expeditions 1803-1810 BANC PIC 1963.002:1000-1037--ffALB

Additional Note

Thirty-seven original drawings and paintings done during and after a voyage around the world undertaken between 1803 and 1807. Images illustrate two phases of the voyage: the first (1803-1805) led by Captain Ivan Fedorovich Kruzenshtern and Ambassador Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov, High Chamberlain to the Emperor Alexander, in order to open trade between Japan and Russia; and the second (1805-1806), led by Rezanov and Georg Heinrich von Langsdorff (without Kruzenshtern) to the North Coast of North America and the Aleutians. Georg Heinrich von Langsdorff, physician and naturalist, was a member of both expeditions and these images were used to illustrate the two volumes of his book "Voyages and travels in various parts of the world during the years 1803, 1804, 1805, 1806, and 1807" (German edition: Frankfurt am Main, 1812; English edition: London, 1813-1814). Depicted are locations and native populations of Oceania (Nukahiva Island, in particular), Alaska, Hawaii, California, and eastern Russia (Kamchatka). The drawings and paintings were executed by Langsdorff and other expedition party members, including Ivan Petrovich Korukin, Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius von Tilenau, Alexander Orloffsky, and Herrmann von Friedrici.
