Sketches in Asiatic Russia - Village on the Siberian Side of the Ural Mountains, 1857. View by '...Mr. William Spottiswoode, who has recently returned from a tour in this comparatively little known country...Kuvashene is the first station on the road from Zlatoust to Ufa, the residence of the Civil Governor of Orenburg. It is situated among the highest peaks of the Southern Urals...The sketch is taken from the posthouse, looking back in the direction of Zlatoust. The lower parts of the mountains are clad with birch and pine, while the highest are bare and rocky. The road is deep with mud, and the wooden gangway in front of the loghouses is often the only practicable path for persons on foot. At the posthouse all accommodation considered necessary for the Russian traveller is furnished...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
