One of the great accounts of Russia under Peter the Great, as well as Persia, especially remarkable for the wealth of illustrations. Here in a beautifully fresh example of this Dutch edition.
Rare first edition of this little book giving the London impressions of a keen Russian observer, just after Napoleon's disastrous Russian campaign. A fascinating read on many various themes. With interesting aristocratic provenance.
A small guide packed with information and of utmost rarity: no other copy traced. Printed in the Philippines.
