Historical notes:
This is the German original of the work. It is based in large part on the reports of Russian traders who, under a convoy from the Admiralty, commanded by Lieutenant Sindo, spent 1764-67 exploring the North Pacific. The map shows the western part of Alaska (the Seward Peninsula) as an island, and the rest of Alaska is designated as "Amerique." The Eskimos shown here are most likely Yupiks from the Kamchatka peninsula, a volcanic area in the Russian Far East.Kilian is probably Georg Christoph Kilian, German engraver, collector, and cartographer (1709-1781).Cf. Staehlin von Storcksburg, An account of the new northern archipelago, ... London, 1774 (03072-1).
