Description: Scene inside a dwelling, with a seated naked woman and two small children. A naked man covered with tattoos is holding the woman by the wrist, beginning to tattoo her, and a second man, also tattooed, entering the door of the hut, is holding a pig's head as a present for the tattooist. There are several ornaments or tools against the back wall of the house. The text accompanying the original German version of this illustration has a slightly variant title: Das Innere einer Hutte von Nukahiva. The description, translated, reads: "in which a master of tattooing sits and practises his art. A tabooed person is entering the hut, bringing a pig's head as a present for the artist. Plate 11, text p.111." This print is a later and variant version of the engraving in Langsdorff. The image is reversed and has lost some detail and has acquired a title as part of the image, instead of the title on the opposite page seen in the original Langsdorff version. It is also slightly smaller. The Library's copy of Langsdorff at 910.4/P/LAN/1812 comprises a volume of plates and a single volume of text. Baron von Langsdorff accompanied Krusenstern on his voyage around the world, visiting Nukuhiva in 1804. This illustration was published in Langsdorff's acount of the voyage, but not in Krusenstern's.

Description: Shows Polynesians gathered around the death-bed of a chief. The different parts of the image are derived from various sources, including the deathbed, bier and surrounding structure from John Webber's 'The body of Tee, a chief, as preserved after death, in Otaheite' [Tahiti] (Engraving, 1784); the platform in the background with dogs' and pigs' bodies and the skulls below, from Webber's 'A human sacrifice in a morai in Otaheite' (engraving, 1784); the fully tattooed figure with club and gourd at the end of the bed from Krustenstern's voyages, showing a Marquesan man with title 'Noukahiva' published in 1826. Pl. 35 Probably from "Il costume di tutti le nazione" (Padua, 1833-43). This source was given for a similar engraving by the same combination of artist and engraver in a Sotheby's catalogue, 28 & 29 June 1993, lot 1173. For the fully-tattooed Marquesan figure, compare A-119-030 Other Titles - Oceania - Polynesia. Plate 35 Extended Title - From Menin, Ludovico. Il costume di tutte le nazioni et de tutti i tempi. (Padua, 1843). Volume 3. Quantity: 1 colour art print(s). Physical Description: Hand-coloured engraving 295 x 435 mm on sheet 295 x 435 mm
