"Album of travel in southern Russia and Crimea through Hungary, Wallachia and Moldova" This four-volume work is dedicated to the expedition undertaken in 1837 by the Russian industrialist and philanthropist Anatoly Demidov (1812-1870) in southeastern Europe and the southern regions of the Russian Empire. Demidov was accompanied by a group of French scientists, engineers and artists. During the expedition, a huge amount of information was collected on geography, history, archeology, as well as the peoples and culture of the region, which at that time was unknown and little studied for the rest of the world. Denis-Auguste-Marie Raffet (1804-1860), an artist on the expedition, completed 64 lithographs for this book, as well as numerous small sketches and illustrations.
