KRUSENSTERN - AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED THREE TIMES 11/1841 - HFSID 24270 ADAM von KRUSENSTERN Russian explorer who circumnavigated the globe asks about American Charles Wilkes, who was in the midst of his circumnavigation. ALS: "Krusenstern" (three times, twice as "Admiral Krusenstern"), in English, 1p, 4¾x6¾. (Russia), 1841 November 16. To newly arrived U.S. Minister to Russia Colonel Charles S. Todd. In full: "Admiral Krusenstern presents his respectful compliments to His Excellency Colonel Todd & has the honour to return his most obliging thanks for the kindness to have forwarded Mr. Fenderich's lithographe print to whom he shortly will address a few lines. Admiral Krusenstern takes the liberty to request His Excellency to favor him with the latest accounts of Commodore Wilkes discoveries, if such has been published already in America." He signed the letter, "Krusenstern". From 1803 to 1806, Russian navigator ADAM JOHANN von KRUSENSTERN (1770-1846) circumnavigated the globe. Although the voyage was undertaken to stimulate the fur trade of the Pacific coast and to revive trade with China and Japan, its real contribution was to the knowledge of the hydrography of the north Pacific coast of America. Krusenstern was Director (1827-1842) of the Royal Naval Academy and was promoted to the rank of Admiral. At the time of this letter, U.S. Navy officer CHARLES WILKES was commanding a surveying expedition of the unchartered Antarctic region. He became the first to provide proof of the existence of an Antarctic continent. Between the spring of 1840 and the summer of 1842, Wilkes undertook a lengthy survey of the North American coast and then sailed to the Philippines and around the Cape of Good Hope. He returned to the U.S. in 1842 after circumnavigating the globe. Colonel CHARLES S. TODD (1791-1871) of Kentucky had served in the War of 1812. He was U.S. Minister to Colombia (1820-1823) and Russia (1841-1846). According to U.S. State Department records, Todd presented his credentials to Czar Nicholas I on November 28, 1841. 2¼-inch diagonal tear at blank area above signature touches 1 letter of text (all paper intact). Light show through of mounting remnants on verso. Fine condition. Framed in the Gallery of History style: 30½x24. See more material from these signers: ADMIRAL ADAM J.
