SLUCHEVSKY, Konstantin Konstantinovich. · 1897 · 198 pictures

Konstantin Sluchevsky's two-volume Russian travel account of the north-west and Arctic coast, published in St Petersburg in 1897 for a general reading public, illustrated after photographs and drawings. Wood-engraved plates give low-horizon town panoramas, waterfront monasteries, onion domes and bell towers, timber quays and plank roads, wide grey skies — useful for silhouettes, skyline strips and tonal landscape backgrounds.
