Travels through part of the Russian Empire and the County of Poland, along the southern shores of the Baltic
Robert Johnston's 1815 English travel account of the Russian Empire, Poland and the Baltic coast, issued in London for readers following the recent Napoleonic campaigns. Twenty-four hand-coloured aquatint town views place onion-domed churches, windmills, carts and river craft in soft washed landscapes, offering distant skylines, staffage figures and foreground vegetation usable as scenery or vignette borders.
