Альбом видов Орловско-Витебской железной дороги

Here I present an album of coloured drawings of the Oryol-Vitebsk Railway produced at towards the end of the 19th century.
The coloured plates are quite beautiful and give a good impression of the railway line at a time before the Revolution. 
Shame there is no picture of Vitebysk Station.

Accompanying music:
The Introduction from the Gadfly Suite, Op. 97 by Dmitri Shostakovich.
