Paris: Ernest Bourdin et Cie, 1854 & [Paris]: Gihaut Frères, [c1838-1848]. Second Enlarged Edition of the Text; First Edition of the Plate Volume. Account of an exploring expedition through Hungary, Wallachia (Romania) and Moldavia to southern Russia and the Crimea in 1837 made by Russian capitalist and philanthropist Anatolii Demidoff in company with several French scientists, engineers, and savants. Denis Auguste Marie Raffet was appointed staff artist on the expedition. The appeal of the book was broad, as Raffet managed to capture the interest of "the military expert and the engineer, the captain and the simply curious like ourselves." "The wild scenery and exotic architecture of the region are displayed; cities and villages alternate with rivers, plains, and mountains. Hungarian, Tartar, and gypsy life is shown with a vivid command of "local colour". The grandiose military colony of Czar Nicholas at Vosnessensk appears in all its glory, even as the vast Russian army is passed in review. And there are many portraits, the most striking of which is that of the Czar (no. 56), the most engaging that of Raffet himself (no. 94) in the uniform of the expedition with his sketchbooks under his arm." "It is invidious to choose among many outstanding plates. As representative as any is the group of "Jewish traders and merchants" (no. 30) observed at Odessa, the metropolis of southern Russia. They are shown in animated discussion outside a favored café. All are dressed in long robes with broad-brimmed hats, even the children who have joined their fathers on the way home from school."
