Ф. В. Каржавин и его альбом «Виды старого Парижа»

In the form that survives the album contains 22 engraved images pasted onto its pages of Parisian architectural monuments of the 17^th–18^th centuries, as well as an isometric plan of Paris in 1607. All of this is accompanied by Karzhavin’s comments in which the architecture, as well as the history, mythology and everyday life of the city, are interspersed with information of an autobiographical character.
