"Northern Mariana Islands: Two Men Suffering from Tuberculosis" is an illustration from the travelogue "Voyage Autour du Monde sur les Corvettes de L'Uranie 1817-20," which documents the French circumnavigation of the globe led by Louis de Freycinet. The artist behind this work is Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, who served as the official artist and draftsman on the expedition. The illustration is significant for its ethnographic and medical interest, as it depicts two indigenous inhabitants of the Northern Mariana Islands afflicted with tuberculosis, a disease that had devastating effects on many Pacific Island populations following contact with Europeans.

The work is part of a larger collection of drawings and writings by Arago, who meticulously recorded the landscapes, peoples, flora, and fauna encountered during the voyage. His observations provide valuable historical insights into the cultures and environments of the early 19th century Pacific. The illustration is not only a piece of scientific observation but also reflects the period's artistic style and the European perspective on encountering "exotic" cultures during the age of exploration.

The travelogue, published upon the return of the expedition, contributed to the era's scientific knowledge and was part of the larger narrative of European exploration and colonialism. Arago's illustrations, including "Northern Mariana Islands: Two Men Suffering from Tuberculosis," are considered important for their contribution to the visual documentation of the voyage and for their role in disseminating information about distant parts of the world to European audiences.
