Traveling Sketches in Russia and Sweden: During the Years 1805-1808 is a book written by Robert Ker Porter and published in 1809. The book is a collection of sketches and observations made by the author during his travels through Russia and Sweden from 1805 to 1808. Porter was an artist and a writer, and his book is a combination of both, as he not only describes the places he visited but also provides illustrations of the people, landscapes, and architecture he encountered.The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers Porter's travels in Russia, where he visited cities such as St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kazan. He describes the people he met, the customs and traditions of the country, and the architecture and art he saw. He also provides detailed accounts of his travels through the countryside, including his encounters with the nomadic tribes of the steppes.The second part of the book covers Porter's travels in Sweden, where he visited Stockholm, Gothenburg, and other cities. He describes the natural beauty of the country, including its forests, lakes, and mountains, as well as the people and their way of life. He also provides illustrations of the landscapes and architecture he encountered, including the famous Swedish castles and churches.Overall, Traveling Sketches in Russia and Sweden is a fascinating account of a traveler's experiences in two very different countries at a time of great political and social change. Porter's descriptions and illustrations provide a unique insight into the cultures and societies of Russia and Sweden in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
