Russia is an illustrated travel and cultural study of early 20th-century Russia, with text by George Dobson, H. M. Grove, and H. Stewart and paintings by F. de Haenen. Published by A. & C. Black in 1913, the book combines descriptive narrative, historical commentary, and visual artistry to provide readers with a comprehensive view of the country.
The volume features cityscapes, architecture, landscapes, and scenes of daily life, covering major centres such as St. Petersburg and Moscow as well as regions including the Urals, the Volga, and the Crimea. De Haenen’s illustrations, both in color and black-and-white, bring these locations vividly to life, complementing the authors, historical and cultural observations.
Intended for general readers, travellers, and art enthusiasts, Russia offers a detailed portrait of Russian society, geography, and history just before World War I, blending travel writing, scholarship, and visual documentation into a single accessible volume.
