"Atkinson's original objective in undertaking these travels was to sketch the scenery of Siberia. He traveled on a czar's pass out of Russia's Asiatic dominions from Kokhan on the west to the eastern end of the Baikal and as far south as the Chinese town of Tchin-si; and into the immense Syan-shan chain, never before seen by any European and a great portion of the western part of the Gobi. He crossed over 39,500 miles in 7 years penetrating into areas most probably never seen by a white man. He suffered significantly, from hunger and thirst and was placed in critical situations amongst Central Asian tribes and among escaped Chinese prisoners. Atkinson produce at least 560 sketches of the scenery, executed in colours. A number are exquisitely produced in this volume and in lithographed colours as well. His book has over the years become known as one of the greatest accounts of European travel into Central and Eastern Asia".

Kupreianov was a Soviet graphic artist born in 1894, in the Polish People?s Republic; died July 29, 1933, in Moscow. "In 1910, Kupreianov studied in St. Petersburg with A. P. Ostroumova-Lebedeva and in the workshops of D. N. Kardovskii and K. S. Petrov-Vodkin. He was a member of the Society of Easel Painters and the Four Arts group. From 1922 to 1930 he was a professor at the Moscow Vkhutemas-Vkhutein, and from 1930 to 1933 he taught at the Moscow Institute of Printing. Most of Kupreianov?s early works are wood engravings, such as Armored Cars (1918) and The Cruiser Aurora (1923), imbued with revolutionary romanticism. His drawings of the 1920?s and 1930?s on industrial subjects reflect a keen perception and a sense of the rhythm and joy of labor. Emotional immediacy and an expressive sketch are combined with a precise rendering of objects in the series Railroad Tracks (india ink, 1927, Tret?iakov Gallery) and Fishing Season (watercolor, 1930-31, Tret?iakov Gallery and the A. S. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow). Kupreianov?s landscapes and interiors are marked by rich tonal variations, giving them a strikingly picturesque quality, and by a subtle mood. Kupreianov did the illustrations for Lunacharskii?s Bear?s Wedding (1924), Mayakovsky?s Fairy Tale About Petia, the Fatty, and About Sima, Who Is Much Thinner (1925), Gorky?s The Artamonovs, Mother, and The Town of Okurov (1931), and Fadeev?s The Rout (1932)." from The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979).
