At this
upper left first word read as "Syzran".
:D>

Cyril, that you would like to bet?

No, I like to ask a big-eyed members of the forum.

I suppose you read it correctly , because:
"... the majority of his works were written in the Volga region , for after his return to Russia he lived in Saratov, where he lived and worked for the last years of his short life. ' (C)

So the other two drawings depict the Danube and the year is the same - 1878, the month they could not read .
And where the Danube and Volga where . :)>

The question, of course, interesting, but "Syzran" in the upper left corner of the picture is read clearly.

 Uh-huh. "Syzran on Volg . 9 August 78 ." And the pennant - " Militia " :)>
A " team" - it steamship company , carried out in the period passenger transport "down (and up) Mother Volga ." Along with the larger " airplane ", " Caucasus and Mercury ," Kama- Volga society and so on.)
While on pennant must include the name Laibach ITSELF ... Well , that's a deal should mb.
And from Astrakhan , for example, to the Danube - which swim there , then? ( I mean , who - to swim, and to whom - go :)>)
Danube is labeled drawings azhno month of October ...
