Leather-bound album containing 17 photographs, titled on the spine. Moiré silk endpapers with wide gold frames. The album bears Levitzky's gilt signature.
The Kazan kremlin, sulkies, horses, stables... One photograph shows two men in the company of three women in a box, presumably a racecourse box, with a poster from the Kozlov Incentive [Horse] Society in the background, together with the program of harnessed trotting and gallop races for 1904 in Kozlov. On the right, in the foreground, this is probably Daniil Samouilovitch Poliakov, son of railroad magnate Samouil Salomonovitch Poliakov. In 1902-1905, he was vice-president of the Kozlov society of harnessed trotting enthusiasts.
