The first of Demidoff's travels to be published, with all plates printed on India paper. An attractive copy of the first edition in contemporary signed binding.

Count Anatoliy Nikolaevich Demidov, Prince of San Donato (1812-70) launched in 1837 at his own expenses a scientific, chiefly geological, expedition to Ukraine and Crimea. He was accompanied in his extensive travel by the artist Denis Raffet, who richly illustrated the account - the 64 illustrations in the title refer to both the woodengravings in the text and plates together.
