About This Item
1810 1ed Clarke Travels in Europe RUSSIA Crimea Sevastopol Moscow Kremlin Turkey
"The most instructive and engaging book of travels ever published!"
– Lowndes, on Clarke's Travels
Edward Daniel Clarke was an 18th-century voyager known for his expeditions across the world. One of his most important trips was his voyage through Russia and Turkey. On this journey, Clarke began laying the groundwork for his book 'Travels in Various Countries'. In the first part of this work, which describes his Russian voyage, Clarke covers his experience in Moscow, supplementing his articles with beautiful, full-page engravings of iconic buildings such as the Kremlin and Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, and the Church of St. Nicholas, as well as a map of Crimea and view of Balaklava Harbor.
