Label copy

Alfred Gomersal Vickers accompanied the author Leitch Ritchie to Eastern Europe and Russia in 1835 and 1836, making pictures of the urban centers they visited along the way. Their travel accounts were quickly published in a series of books illustrated with lithographs. Although this particular scene never appeared in print, it was likely painted on the journey.
