Unpacking a(nother) voyage round the world
This article studies the history of the specimen collection formed by the Franco-Prussian naturalist Adelbert von Chamisso (1781–1838), particularly its assembly during the Russian-led Rurik expedition (1815–18) and its subsequent donation to the museums of Berlin University. It examines three inventories which emerged in the process of transferring objects from an individual collector to an institutional collection, and which demonstrate how tra…
