"Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde" (Picturesque Voyage Around the World), published in 1822 by Ludwig (Louis) Choris, is a significant work that captures the diverse cultures and peoples encountered during the author's travels. Choris, a German-Russian painter and lithographer, accompanied the Russian expedition led by Otto von Kotzebue on the Rurik from 1815 to 1818. This expedition aimed to explore the Pacific Ocean and the west coast of North America, and Choris was tasked with documenting the journey through his art.

One of the notable aspects of Choris's work is his detailed depiction of the costumes of various indigenous peoples, including those of Chile. The illustrations provide a vivid and invaluable record of the traditional attire worn by the Chilean people in the early 19th century. These images are not only artistically significant but also serve as important ethnographic documents, offering insights into the cultural and social practices of the time.

Choris's illustrations of Chilean costumes reflect a blend of indigenous and colonial influences, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of the region. The attire often includes elements such as ponchos, mantas, and traditional headgear, which were commonly worn by both men and women. These garments were typically made from locally sourced materials and featured intricate patterns and designs that held cultural significance.

The detailed and vibrant illustrations in "Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde" have made it a valuable resource for historians, anthropologists, and art enthusiasts alike. Choris's work not only documents the physical appearance of the Chilean people but also provides a window into their daily lives, customs, and traditions during a period of significant historical change. Through his art, Choris has left a lasting legacy that continues to inform and inspire contemporary understanding of Chile's cultural heritage.
