"The Chiefs of Tikopia receiving the officers of the Astrolabe" is a historical engraving by Victor Adam, based on the artwork of Louis Auguste de Sainson. It was published in 1833 as plate 174 in the "Voyage de la corvette l'Astrolabe. Atlas historique." This work visually documents an encounter between the indigenous leaders of Tikopia, a small island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, and the officers of the French expedition ship, the Astrolabe. The expedition, led by Jules Dumont d'Urville from 1826 to 1829, aimed to explore the Pacific and gather scientific and ethnographic information. The engraving is significant for its depiction of early interactions between European explorers and the native populations of the Pacific islands, capturing a moment of cultural exchange and mutual curiosity. The detailed illustration serves not only as a historical record but also as a piece of art that reflects the European perspective of the era on exotic locales and peoples.
