A rare and interesting work on the spa towns of the Caucasus. The plates show plans for fountains, bathing houses and pumping stations of in Piatigorsk, Zheleznovodsk, Yessentuki and Kislovodsk, all of which were popular destinations for 19th century Russians to visit. Aristocracy, musicians and artists were drawn to these four towns due to the famous healing powers of the mineral waters.
