ANTHING, Friedrich (artist)
Johann RICHTER [ed].
Ansichten von St Petersburg und Moskwa und einigen merkwuerdigen Oertern der umliegenden Gegenden.
Most of these very scarce 19th-century views of Moscow and St Petersburg and the surrounding country are by Friedrich Durfeldt after Anthing. Anthing was a German officer and biographer of Count Suvarov, known mainly for his silhouettes of famous figures at the Russian Court in the late 18th century. After Anthing’s death Johann Richter kept his drawings and plates of Russia, publishing them in this present work.
