Summary

Description
English: An illustration to a chapter about Russian naval activities on the Aral Sea and the Syr Darya in the 1850s. Original caption: "Russian steam-barges, originally stationed at Fort No. 7, opposite Kungrad on the Syr-Darya". The author may have made a mistake, because today's Kungrad is on the Amu-Darya, not Syr-Darya; possibly, another town (or river arm?) with similar name was meant.
Date drawn between 1847 and 1865; English edition of the book published in 1865
Source The Russians in Central Asia : their occupation of the Kirghiz steppe and the line of the Syr-Daria : their political relations with Khiva, Bokhara, and Kokan : also descriptions of Chinese Turkestan and Dzungaria; by Capt. Valikhanof, M. Veniukof and [others] (1865) https://archive.org/stream/cu31924023159621#page/n353/mode/1up
Author An apparently unnamed Russian officer or civilian traveler, possibly M. Veniukof
